Subject: Punky & Lew in Panama

Hi Skert: Thanks for the interesting recap of your Iron Butt ride. You have my deepest respect and admiration. One of the media people at the Iron Butt checkstop in Pomona, CA asked me, during an interview, what I thought of the Iron Butt. My response was, "I respect and admire the riders for their determination and stamina, but personally, I am an adventure tourer not a masochist." As I write this message, there has been an earthquake that freaked a bunch of this Internet Cafe´s customers. I'm from California and it didn´t bother me a bit. I never stopped typing. We are now in David, Panama for the night, heading for Panama City to fly to Lima, Peru. I decided to pass on Colombia, too dangerous, and Ecuador as well, because they cause too much trouble and delay when you ship a vehicle into their country. Still trying to make Ushuaia by Christmas. I haven´t heard any news about Mariola Cichon and her attempt to get in the Guiness Book of World Records as the first American woman to solo around the world on a motorcycle. I wonder where she is and how she is doing. I have a date with Mariola to do the Tango in Argentina. I always heard it takes 2 to Tango. Punky and I are fine. Critter is still performing flawlessly with 27.6k miles on the clock. We met a very nice American living in Costa Rica, who invited us to stay with him for a few days and learn more about the possiblily of living here myself after we finish the tour. We stayed in Costa Rica for 5 weeks. It's a beatiful place. I like the rural areas at high elevation, where life is tranquil and the climate is pretty even all year, never too hot and never too cold. The costal zones are very nice, but too hot for me. The mountain areas are only about 1 hour away from the beaches. I'm guessing we might be back in Florida in 9 months to a year, depending on whether we fly from Venezuela to Miami or ride back through Central America. It was such a pain in the ass crossing borders in Central America that I'm not sure If want to do it again.
Enough for now. Later.
