 Since eleven months we cycle along the Pacific coast. The sea got so familiar that we miss it when the road turns inland like the last time in Guadalajara. El Faro (mi) |
 From April on it gets hotter and hotter in Mexico. Already at 10 o'clock in the morning the sweat runs in streams. From 11am to 4pm cycling is no fun and we usually have a siesta. Markus in front of a typically "tienda" in Los Llianos (mi) |
 Camping on the construction area in Majahua between gardening tools and cement sacks. We only built up the inner tent to benefit from every little breeze. Karolyn's organic farm(mi) |
 Here Karolyn and her gardener listen to Markus' remarks about the assets and drawbacks of LED-lamps. And although Manuel doesen't speak any word English he may thought, the tomatos he also can water later (mi) |
 The biggest insect we ever have seen is called "mother of the Scorpions" (madre de alarcon) and eats Scorpions. We thought it would be very interesting to watch it doing so, and we started to search some. But the quitters didn't show up! (ma) |
 Rankle and been rankled, thats the law of the jungle, like the snake ant the frog showed us very clearly. Karolyn lost several biddys and eggs to snakes, because it is easy for them to find a way into the cages. Luckily our tent was sealed enough (mi) |
 These and many other animals we could watch at the ranch. From left to right: top: Iguana, beetle, saurian middle: Cockroach in our bread-bag, tarantula (big like a hand), termite housing bottom: Gorgeous beatle, giant ant with plant parts, gecko (mi) |
 Hotel Eden with it's beatiful front garden pointing at the ocean, always was a place to rest from the zivilsation. On the ocassion of my 37. birthday we indulged ourselfs in having a breakfast in the restaurant, cozy hanging in the hammocks, and bathing in the ocean at sunset. (ma) |
  What do the pictures have in common: Erica and Balthasar at making homework and me selling in the store? The wax table cloth! Once in regular use and then processed as designer bag. The bags, a coproduction of the Mexican artist Esperanza and the hotel owner Eva, really went fast. Troncones (mi), Shop Fruity Keiko (ma) |
 An own home - a two week lasting dream of a normal life. Thanks to my work in Eva's shop and a fair price from the owners Jeanette und Bob we could afford this luxury without using our traveling money. (mi) |
 Our pet "Mauzi" always waited for us when we've been swimming in the ocean or we returned from work. Here Markus transformed movement of the sun into the earth-coordinate system to develop a tracking unit for solar panels. But then Mauzi absolutely wanted to play and so the ingenious invention had to wait for a while. But at the next time, probably! (mi) |
