February 29th: Almost home!

Mexico
Guatemala
El Salvador
Honduras
Nicaragua
Costa Rica
Panama
Colombia
Ecuador
Peru
Chile
Argentina
Paraguay (ok, technically my passport is not stamped from Paraguay, as they kicked us out for not having a Visa. But, we were on Paraguay soil and I used the banos here. We all agreed if you leave your DNA behind, it counts!)
Bolivia
Peru
Ecuador
Colombia
Panama
Costa Rica
Nicaragua
Honduras
Guatemala
Mexico
United States
The one thing that has amazed me in every country we have visited is the great kindness of people. We have had so many angels helping us along the way. Strangers who have become new friends, just from a simple act of kindness. This trip has taught me many things. Most importantly, it has taught me kindness. We are all human. We all could use help now and then. Don't be afraid to stop and help a stranger. You would want someone to help you if you needed it. Trust me, you would! In 1,500 miles we will be back in Wisconsin. We hope to ride as far North as we can, depending on the weather.
One day at a time... :)
