I'm leaving Canada and going to Houston; I'm planing to ride my bike all the way with some friends. I'll keep the posting of the trip and share some pics. Cheers  Jorge       

  I reached the target!!! Thank you very much for the support of everybody in this challenge. The $ 10,000 is now part of the UNICEF program for Guatemala.  As per the school you saw in my pictures, “Canton de los encuentros” in Coatepeque I sent a personal donation to them of $ 1,000...

You can see now that the picture book prepared to complete my campaign of UNICEF it’s uploaded. It was a challenge to select the pics among the almost 3700 that I took during the trip, I choose black and white because I think that sometimes color pics tends to be distractive and you can't see...

  I’m back to “normal” and now focus in completing the fund raise. Unicef Gala will be on October 17th and Unicef will auction the painting from Nicasio (that I brought from Argentina) together with one picture book. This will add to the money collected so far, and hopefully leave me...

  The trip is over........after more than 18000 Km..... 46 days.... 670 liters of gasoline...and 13 countries; the bike and me will leave Argentina back to Canada today.   I never felt at risk or afraid, the main challenge I found was myself. Battling my own fears was the most...

 I spent the last two days at my parents house in Necochea, a small town in the seaside 500 km south of Buenos Aires ; I grew up here with a close relationship with the sea. The beaches are wide and the grains of sand fine; a Poseidon statue overlooks the area.   The dynamic and beauty...

My bike and the obelisco was the pic I had on my mind the first day....and I have it now... I left Santiago with a couple of additional pounds on me, and spent the night in Rosario with another cousin and his girlfriend. The trip has become cheaper as I'm eating for free the last days....I do not...

  Passing through Tucuman and Santiago it's a memory test, lot's of relatives, that I didn't see since many (many) years and theirs sons and daughters (that I never met) hugged and kissed me while we eating tons of typical foods. Dinner with the Mitre and lunch with the Werenitzky (or...

I'm surprise with the beauty of the Humauaca, yesterday we rode with my friend from Jujuy to Tilcara and Humauaca city, going inside of each town and looking into the detail of the places. Houses are build of “adobe” a brick made off clay, sand and “paja” which are the leaves of a local plant. The...

I'm still in Jujuy....I have a cousin leaving here and ….just by chance....it was the baptism of his son (called Bautista), therefore all his brothers (my other cousins) plus my aunt, were here in Jujuy (I saw them last time 17 years ago) .  I have ate and enjoy my time with them while...
