Riding through South America We have seen the most diverse landscape regions so far. In Ecuador it rained Everyday at about 1pm. We rode through high mountains and volcanoes covered in snow to; high farming villages; to the Ocean. It would be cold and wet one minute and hot and dry within another 10 miles. It is amazing how many different climates we can see in one day, in just one little country. It is also amazing that from border to border, as soon as you cross into another country how the scenery changes. You can see that you have crossed into a new land.
Riding through thick FOG..
If you are worried about the gas prices in the states come to Ecuador. These are the gas prices in Ecuador. It is in $ and Gallons! (Diesel is 1.37)( unleaded 1.48)The cheapest we have seen.
Crossed into Peru on 26 March 2011. Border crossings in South America is much smoother then Central America. Notice there is nobody around.
Sunset over the Pacific Ocean in Zorritos, Peru. The view from our Bungalow on the Beach.
We always love meeting new friends while traveling. We stopped by a fruit stand on the side of the road and met Trevor and Suzette who are living/working in Sullana, Peru. They invited us into their home to stay the night. We can not thank them enough for their hospitality.
This is a 112 mile stretch of Desert in Peru" “Desierto de Sechura” . Nothing but sand and dunes with a straight highway going straight through.
Camille decided to trade in the shooting star for a broomstick…it gets better gas mileage 
It is so hot on the tarmac that Paul’s Kickstand just sunk right through the road.
gas might be cheap, but Diesel is lots more expensive than US. It's over $10./gal. and that is awful. Pixs are wonderful, as always. Be safe. Good idea to post people's pixs you stay with--a little added safety measure. They do look like nice people.
