Looks like James and Angela picked an awsome compound. Its not how they look from the street, but whats inside.

My guess is that with all the polishing going on here James you will not be taking your new/old series Rovers into the jungle.

I recognize that local Peddler with Beverly. You would be surprised how many languages they speak. Enjoying seeing Antigua again through new eyes. Looking forward to seeing more from you. All my best to Team Equipt and NLX.

Keep 'em coming :)

The city was destroyed on Sept. 11th, 1541 (what is it with 9-11) by an eruption of the neighboring Volcán de Agua.

Total side-note, but is that a translated date? 1541 was in the pre-Gregorian (Julian) calendar and as such would translate to 21 September 1541 today.

To keep in context, that is 11.16.2.16.4 in Mayan :)

Weird. I recognize her, too. She put a braid in my girlfriend's hair about two weeks ago. Really sweet lady.

Fantastic photos! Looks like you guys are really having a great time. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you keep finding good internet connections so we can keep getting photo updates in this thread.

We camped next to a ex-british army vehicle that had been converted in England into a Mog type vehicle with nice living quarters. It was by Overland Vehicles Ltd. and the owner said that it only cost approx. $60K US total for chassis and build.:Wow1: I think it may have been called a dana?

The couple in the rig were very nice and some of you may have met them when they were traveling throughout the U.S.?
.

It is called a DAF. Very cool truck. If you see them again say hi for me, I slipped a copy of Overland Journal under their windscreen wiper when they stopped in Hope BC.

That is a similar story to my last trip south and stop in Antigua. If you came down the CA1 it is a steep road, steeper going north. Your trucks look really heavy, mine was too. That takes it's toll on the brakes, especially in a truck with an automatic.

How was the border crossing, painless? I don't see any pictures of your dogs or mention of them, did you leave them home?

I am jealous, keep having fun!

Our trucks a very heavy! We do have our dogs with us and also have all the required paperwork, but have never been asked for it. As for the border crossing it was on a sunday morning and painless, nicest border agents ever. They shook our hands after they got all of our paperwork done. Also, they played with the dogs as they inspected the rigs, but never asked for their papers.

Good to see you are all having a good time! How rough are the roads?

How is the food; are you sampling the local cuisine?
