November 10, 2018 I flew from Portland, Oregon to Cusco, Peru. When I arrived in Cusco, I took a bus to Puno. While in Puno, I cycled some and toured floating island on Lake Titicaca. Next, I took a Bolivia hop bus to La Paz, which included a trip to Isle Del Sol. While in La Paz, I took a tour to Tiwanaku ruins and a tour that included cycling the world's most dangerous road. Then I took a bus to Uyuni, Bolivia and toured the world’s largest salt flats. Then I made my way through a portion of Argentina to get to Asuncion, Paraguay. From there I took a flight to Montevideo, Uruguay and then a bus to Colonia, Uruguay. I then took a ferry to Buenos Aries and cycled to Moron, Argentina. On December 02, 2018, I started my flight back to Portland, Oregon from Buenos Aries, Argentina. I arrive in Portland at about 11:00 AM on December 3rd, took the max home, took a shower and cycled to work. I was at work by about 1:00 PM. On this trip I cycled about 631.63 miles and covered over 2,500 miles using ground transportation and about 33 miles on boats traveling through Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay in 24 days.
April 19, 2019 Marty gave me a ride to the airport and at a little after 11:00 PM, my flight from Portland, Oregon departed towards Managua, Nicaragua. I arrive in Managua the next day around 1:00 PM and took ground transportation to Rivas, Nicaragua. The following day I started cycling to Liberia, Costa Rica. Once in Liberia I rented a car and visited Manual Antonio National Park and Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. Then I drove back to Liberia and the following day I hiked at Rincón de la Vieja National Park. I cycled 154.11 miles during this trip where 87.7 of the miles are part of my American Journey (Arctic Ocean to Southern tip of South America).
