...a few more sites I'm sure are new to these four boyz...
More on the WEE thread and on the Picasa link below.
We all agreed the boyz loved the new places here and are looking forward to the rest of the ride south and back to Moonshine in April.
We sure had fun showing them the sites.

If all works well, Danny and TankerEng can pass off the package at Moonshine 2011. Khris is heading off to Germany right after that.

The possibility of the TAG taking on a life of it's own similar to the ADV Mr. Egg is something we should be prepared for.
Here, Fausto signs the STOC TAG.
He is very poetic and a Singer/Songwriter and musician. Rides a Harley Soft Tail.
Here is one on the malecon in downtown PV:

It's just not right that one person can have so much fun whilest some of us sit and watch. There's a term floating around these days - "Re-distribution". How about we legislate for re-distibution of "Fun"?
Danny, even if I followed right along your path, I probably wouldn't/couldn't extract as much enjoyment out of the trip as you are. Your meet and greet skills are insurmountable.
Keep it up...we're watching!

Mostly great twisties and scenic, the road to Barra de Navidid was uneventful unless you count literally running into a flock of Black Birds, Crows or Ravens an event.
Two large black birds in a flock flapped into my flight path, one careened off the top edge of the wind screen and the other less than a second later got a wingful of the forehead portion of my helmet. That alone is a reason to have a helmet cam.
A 30 something Norwegian couple struck up a conversation about the motorcycle and told of their rides that included two up camping with out a trailer. Lennart and Mari Lise
Also like to stay many days at places they like such as here and Barra de Nexpa, a day ride south on the Mexican Riviera. Lennart is heading to PV to do sound on a Norwegian reality show about kids at a fancy Hotel. Crappola TV as he says. Mari Lise has been traveling extensively on her own in Cambodia, Laos, and Ghana working with an NGO as a social worker. They are fabulous people and were privileged to sign the STOC Memorial TAG book as well as share a meal and drinks with me.
Today they are deep sea fishing. I wait to see what sea trophies surface.
One of the things I wanted to do while here is find and meet British world walker Karl Bushby. According to the latest updates at his http://www.odysseyxxi.com/ he was holed up for two years in the town just up the beach, Melaque waiting for an extended visa to continue his walk home to England through Russia. A really fascinating story if you get a chance to look it over.
Turns out the Visa has apparently been granted and he got a much needed funding source in the form of a sponsor. Ironically, he is currently in NYC and will be in LA for an interview soon according to his host and fellow Brit in Melaque Dan Patman who co-runs MEX-ECO tours. Dan was good enough to fill me in of the whereabouts of Karl and sign the TAG book.
A great interview here:

There ya go, meeting interesting people again! 
Too bad, you've missed Karl Bushby this time. I stayed up late last night reading his blog and being absolutely fascinated with his journey when I wasn't being terrified of him being lost in the jungle or killed in the crossfire of warring factions in the Darien Gap or drowning in the crossing of the Bering Strait. I think I might prefer the dangers of a sunburn on a beach in Cozumel. Hee hee.

Ya, it was a disappointment, and yet I felt good that he is apparently up and walking soon again.
Sure was hoping he would be there to sign the TAG book. An Adventurer like that would be a great entry in the Memoril Tag
When do we get to see the pics of your trip to Cozumel.
Did you have any fun at all???
Well, who knows when you might have the chance to meet him. The Universe works in strange ways. And, you are meeting really interesting people who are signing the Memorial Tag also. It would be nice, at the end, to have some of the entries posted I think.
I'm embarrassed to say that we don't seem to know what has happened to our camera, travel alarm and iPod. They've vanished into the ether. Andy thought I had the pouch they were in and I thought he had it and now we're baffled. We called the hotel and they haven't found it. Quien sabe?
We had a wonderful time. My tale of burying toes in the sand and reading quietly side by side and walking endless miles just taking the day as it came is very tame and pales in comparison (pun intended) to your adventure. One day, though, I shall do big treks to Italy and New Zealand and India and much more of Mexico and points south. Then there will be tales to tell.
Be well.

Abby, So sorry to hear of the missing stuff. I know what that feels like. I've been losing stuff too. My Ipod was written off as lost on the ferry from La Paz to Mazatlan but it just turned up a few days ago it was hiding, black in a black bag for weeks. But, now it looks like the audio amp is toast, everything else works. Even had the audio engineer, Linart, the Norwegian, look at it. Nada!
Isn't Cozumel great? Next time check out Isla Mujeres. I also heard Colbox is great.
While in the surf earlier, I was approached by a young lady who was reticent to get all the way in the cool water here at Zihuatanejo. Conversation was steered to the discussion of the trip mission, Memorial TAG.
One thing led to another and I met the family she was with and I got three entries from travelers from Saskatchewan, Canada.
Pic coming with the next batch.

I was heartsick at the loss at first, but there's nothing to be done about it. Plus it's a good reason to go back and take the pictures all over again!
Isla Mujeres looks wonderful. Peaceful and idyllic. It's on the list.
Run into Andy Dufresne down there in Zihuatenajo?
Looking forward to the pictures. They are a pleasure to look at. You have such an eye for the scene.
Hasta luego.

The Fancy Pants digs are almost a week ago. I'm back to living on a budget.
Here I am camping...this shot is a few feet away from my tent. Maybe this is Five Star. here at Barra de Nexpa
Nacho is excited about the TAG concept here at Playa la Ropa, Zehuatanejo:
Exhausted after a successful hammock mount, little Nacho still has his Umbilical jerky dangling.
Katlin, Left, came up to me in the surf (wish I had that bikini shot) and one thing led to another...Here is the family of new TAG fans. They are from Saskatchewan.
Let me get back in those gorgeous waves now...
