You’re welcome to join me any time…I’ll pick you up a mask before I leave Mexico!

Earl – this post was FANTASTIC. This made me stop and think about my own goals, and how badly I want to wear a mask! You’ve inspired me to kick it up a notch. Going to RT the hell out of this.

Keep me posted on your plans! And take me with you!

Go for it! Just make sure you build your own canoe…

I had a blast doing a bike tour…

I’m stealing your idea of taking a canoe along the Brazilian coast. Or just taking a canoe anywhere. That’s an awesome idea.

Hey if you want to do something different, authentic and cheap, join me down a lovely Amazon cruise. I have tried to get people to go for this but everyone doesn’t see the adventure in it or has other plans.

We would start in Ecuador at the Rio Napo and take it all the way to Peru in which it turns into the Amazon River. From there we would cross Peru until we come to the 3 corners of Colombia, Peru and Brazil. Then sail all across Brazil in the thick of the Amazon until we reach the Atlantic Ocean.

Of course to make this authentic, we would build our own boat from local materials. When I say boat, I mean more like raft…but with creature-comforts too! By-the-way, we’d also have to dodge local tribes men who are pissed in the Ecuadorian side and have been know to have killed a few missionaries before. But I think we’ll be ok as we wouldn’t be walking around in the jungle trying to trump someone else’s God or anything…just sailing down the river and soaking it all up.

I figure this trip would take about 2-2 1/2 months. So it’s not a year project, would be super cheap compared to what you get (no $30,000 boats on this cruise) and you can honestly say you saw the Amazon afterwards.

If your in let me know and shoot me an email back at my website. I’m American who is living in Quito, Ecuador and will be here for some time unless something else appears to offer something better. http://www.foggodyssey.com/

Whatever you decide, make sure the mask is involved. That’s a must.

It sounds like we will need some popcorn to read your next years adventures…

PS Ultimo Guerrero (the wrestler’s mask that you are wearing) should be your sponsor hehehe.
