I have been helped and encouraged and cosseted by so many people on this journey. Let me name a few: Abby and Jed Sheckley in Providence; my daughter Anya in Duchess County, New York; the Weempes in Dallas; Eugenio and Monica Gabatto on the Rio Dulce; in Flores, Santiago Billy and his brujas; Marcio and Ashley in Cobán; Joe Brown and Gillian in Granada; in Nazca, Juan Carlos and the staff at the Hostal Via Morburg; wondrous Graciela of the Hotel Argentina, Rio Grande; Luca in Ushuaia; in Buenos Aires, Juan José Rodriguez Lopez at the Internet café who gave so generously of his time and expertise; and the many Honda Agencies that serviced the bike – few charged more than a few dollars and the bike never faltered.
