Central America Dec06/Jan07 ?????
 

Hi guys, I will arrive to Panama City around the 28th of December and will ride a bike to Tucson/USA. Anybody going the same direction???? I will ride a BMW F6550GS - no racing! I have about 4-5 weeks .....only..... better than nothing!

Let me know if you want to share a beer on the beach - See you!!!

Any ideas what I shouldn´t miss on my trip???

Thanks a lot - Jens

I am currently in San Jose, Costa Rica and will remain for about 2 months studing Spanish, I will either continue south to Argentina or return north to the US. Please advise of your progress. Should I travel north I would be interested in hooking up with fellow travelers for the trip through Centro America.
My current abode is the Hotel Cacts in San Jose Costa Rica. Should you need a place here I can hook you up with my German friends who know the area very well and can help you find reasonable places to stay.

Pappy, are you also known as B.B.? Do you know Fletcher? I've ridden with Fletcher a few times in the past. I am planning on riding to Tierra del Fuego at the end of December. I'll leave Texas on the 26th going south, and be in Heredia, Costa Rica by New Years Day. I hope to see you along the way.

Yes to all Fletcher is my friend. I will be here in Costa Rica through the second week in january for sure. I am at the Hotel Cacts, just off or Paseo Colon in San Jose The phone is 506/221/6546. They will know where I am.

Ok, I'll try and look you up. I'm not sure how much time I will have, but I would definitely like to visit over a meal. I'm trying to get to the bottom of South America and back in six weeks. My time and money are very limited. I will be posting updates on my website on a very regular basis. There will be one other fellow with me. I'm looking forward to it.:clap:

Hi Jens,

just came back from Arenal today with the bike, very nice and lots of curves. I hope you had a great time in Panama.
The paved roads in general are in pretty good shape right now (less of the big pot holes). You must be through Costa Rica already. Let me know.

Guanacaste Costa Rica

invite...
 

Thanks Jogi for doing the article on Guanacaste, now I don't have to. ;-) I'm south of Tamarindo, just north of Samara and living in a fishing village called Punta Guiones, which is not on the map. Anyone who wants a place to crash after visiting Jogi is welcome, though my abode is pretty 'rustico'. No hot water (though why you'd want it this time of year I don't know...), no aircon. You can check out where I live at: www.OnaMissionfromDog.com/arrival.htm and www.OnaMissionfromDog.com/may.htm. Get my email off my website, as I check HU erratically.
Drop me a line Jogi, next time you pass through. Sorry I missed you last time!
Lorraine

Dear Loraine,

con gusto. I know Nosara and Guiones a little as I ride through going from Tamarindo to our Samara office. I will try to visit you next time.

Saludos Jogi
