This is a few days later in the travels of the guy heading Canada to far-south America. The last page I pointed at, I mainly did so because of the unbelievable barren qualities. It was amazingly bad looking even from the point of view of his travels. This new page is just a week or so later and is much more like the sort of thing he's been going through. It's very beautiful, and a unique experience. He's been through an amazing range of people and lands, and almost any day I've read about stands on its own as worthwhile. People cycling across the US, on the other hand, seem to sometimes have days they could just as well do without.

I don't think you're any more likely to meet friendly people in Mexico/S.A., but it does seem like you're less likely to meet huge jerks or dangerous people there.
