Next stop Mexico

Next stop Mexico

The route has been decided: I will continue heading south.

It was a tough choice which route to follow. So many negative opinons about Mexico and Middle America, so many newspaper articles filled with gruel crime especially in North Mexico. Some influences shaped my decision: a long and good conversation I had with the Border Protection office, the blog of a fellow traveller who is ahead of me and follows the same route and went through Middle America without real problems and last but not least a beautiful qoute I found in the San Francisco Chronicle from Winston Churchil: ’success is never final, failure is never fatal, it’s the courage to continue that counts’.

So after Thanksgiving I’ll be on the road again, going south.

Doubts about the route to take. Will Old Betsy -the bike- be capable of especially the tiresome and maybe dangerous stretches through Middle-America? Will I leave my comfortzone and just go, or will I stay in the US and go to the Southern states?
