I received a few e-mails asking about Mexico and why am I thrusting myself from one culture (Italian) to another (Mexican) so quickly. So rather than write a long essay on this I urge you to check out the beauty of Mexico's Copper Canyon.
Border crossing into mainland Mexico is interesting. Especially with a motorcycle. More later...

I'm off early in the morning for Mexico. But I found out from Stuart
(see sidebar blogroll for link) that Dina is in SFO and he's holding a
bash for her tonight. Damn. The cures and blessig of travel. I'm going
to miss meeting Dina in person. Perhaps I'll have to jourey to India
and meet her on her turf. It might be time for me to travel again soon
anyway ;-)
I'm testing my mail to weblog capability. No computer on my Mexico
trip. But if I run into an internet cafe in Baja I should be able to
post simple text only blog posts like this one.

It's a whirlwind. I'm now sitting safely, so to speak, in Orange County. Home from Rome, Tuscany, Italy & Newark. But not for too long.
The apocalyptic skies drenching silvery streams of ash. Kinda looks like snow here. My throat more than tickles from the foreign object in gestation. Wildfire. It's sad. It's a bit scary.
Then there's my friend Mark. Shows up from SFO on his Triumph Tiger (motorcycle) only to discover his swing arm is cracked. Thereby delaying my next adventure by several hours. I'm going to have to leave and he'll catch up to me.
Where you ask?
I'm off to Mexico. To Copper Canyon. It's in the state of Chihuahua in the Western Sierra Madre. I'm taking a lot of hits and nudges from fellow bloggers and friends. Since September I've barely been home for more the 7 days. But that's not the point. This adventure, like my Wyoming excursion, will be on motorcycle. The bags are packed. I'm ready to go. But the 8 freeway just north of the Mexican border at Tecate is closed. North of me the fires have jumped the freeway and are wreaking havoc on both sides of the 15.
Me? I can only blame it on our new governor-elect. Ok. So that's not fair nor reasonable. But I've been planning this Copper Canyon dual-sport adventure motorcycle tour for a few months now. What's it mean? I'll barely be able to blog. In fact, I may not find access to the internet until the latter part of the trip when we'll cross the Sea of Cortez and take the journey home through Baja California.
So please be patient. Check back frequently. Or if you haven't signed up for e-mail alerts when something new pops up on the Digital Tavern take a moment and enter your email address into the space on the right sidebar.
