Mexican Independence In Guanajuato
/3 Comments/in Mexico, North America, Travelogue /by allanIt’s no wonder UNESCO labeled Guanajuato’s historical city center a World Heritage Site. This place is bleeding history, architecture and art. Top that off with a world-reknowned university and warm and friendly residents, Guanajuato is MUST see for anyone visiting Mexico. Forget the Americanized resorts of Cancun, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas, head for the […]
Quixotic Episodes in Guanajuato
/3 Comments/in Mexico, Travelogue /by allanTime is either my enemy or my friend. To successfully complete a journey such as I’ve set out takes both patience and diligence.

Packed, face shield cleaned and clothes neatly folded and laying on the bed he made after waking up. Deciding to forego dressing in riding gear for our morning stroll down Avenida Hildago […]
The Streets of Zacatecas
/4 Comments/in Mexico, North America, Travelogue /by allanSeems these last few days in Mexico I’ve been moving a bit slower than usual. Maybe I’ve been here too long and the concept of siesta, sitting around or simply lounging as locals do has consumed me. Forget my intentions, but getting up, breakfast, packing and moving on seems to happen and the crack of […]
It Doesn’t Matter If You’re Not Hungry, Eat & Enjoy!
/1 Comment/in Mexico, North America, Travelogue /by allanDurango. Sombrerete. Zacatecas. There’s so much to see. And even on this lengthy journey, I sometimes feel I’ve got to keep moving. Often I wonder when I can have a vacation from this hectic day to day traveling. We blasted out of Durango this morning headed for Zacatecas. My bike was riding well, but my […]
