(Here you can see our route through Mexico in blue on the east coast of Mexico. We havn't ventured too far off the beaten path as our plan has always been to blast through Mexico and then start some more tourist type action once into Central America. We are planning to hit Oaxaca, Mexico on Jan. 9 to pick up Charlie and Donn where we will really be able to start the "Road Trip!" Everything is going well and we ended up in Vera Cruz tonight without incident. (Click on map for larger view)

With luck on our side we have already bumped into a native Chilean named Rodrigo who is very interested in buying the Tahoe at then end of our journey. Funny enough, he grew up in, and has family in Punta Arenas, Chile the same place we are planning to end our journey and fly home. The salesman in Bob came through immediately and was fun to watch the interaction between the two with the thoughts of potentially being able to have the car sold before we had even driven the car to the end of the world! We'll see how it works out, but it might just work out perfectly!
