| Our flight to Houston was diverted to Austin and required a 3 hour Yellow Cab ride through the night to make our connecting flight to Mexico. We hooked up with two other travelers and learned of how our driver Teklehainanot found his way to America from Eritrea in a nine month odyssey. As fate would have it, @koreejoo (the guy in the center) was on our flight back to SF after his week in Costa Rica! Classic ride. |

Santiago was our first driver. An experienced ATV rider, he knew how to navigate the dunes |

| BK named Greg The Commander for his dawn patrol program. When we came across this odd bar in the middle of nowhere a portrait seemed appropriate. Here are more portraits... |
