We made it to Nogales with no incident. Then we got stopped at the border, they made us get out of the van after no believing that we were headed for South America with no real plan. We got put in a "waiting room" which is a nice name for a cell. After they thoroughly searched our van for drugs bullets and firearms they reluctantly let us go, no love for a couple old war heroes. We drove from there and made good time arriving in Guaymas by 8pm. Drove around looking for the ferry to Baja and then parked the van out by the boardwalk and slept there for the night. Its that point where I'm in a new country and its still surreal, I dont feel like were in a whole other world. Were doing very well communicating considering no one speaks English. My many years of Spanish and that trip to Spain to see family really paid off I guess cause I find my vocabulary is much more extensive than I would have given myself credit for. Anyways, just checking in, were headed for Mazatlan after this, should easily make it by night. The lady at Mexican Immigration laughed at us when we said we would be to Guatemala in 8 days but we'll show her, Como se dice "in your face"?
Keep checking in, as long as we can keep finding McDonalds we should have access to free wi-fi, God bless American capitalism..
Until next time,
Dean
Give me a place to stand and I shall move the world.

Crazy, crazy, crazy
Just make sure you stay awake and don't have anything to do with drugs or weaponry as they will throw away the key no matter how good your high school Spanish is.
