The Yucatan Peninsula to the Panama Canal in 5 months (if we don't run out of money somewhere in Honduras)
Bienvendido a nuestro viaje! We hope you will enjoy this documentation of our bumming around Central America and check up on us frequently. After dreaming about this for half a year, and looking for a home for the cats for equally as long (muchas gracias Dan!), we are still in shock that it is reality. Under the guise of Matt trying to learn Spanish, we are hoping to experience the flavor of all the Central American countries, from lazing around on beaches to climbing volcanoes and everything in between. P.S. Be sure to check out the photos as a slide show AND as an album. (You only see photo explanations and movies in album form.) Also, don't be shy: make some comments on this site and let us know how you are doing as well!
