We are in the process of preparing for our return to France.

  • We are looking for places to sleep in between Madrid and Paris (we only need a little corner of land to pitch the tent!). If you can help us out, please follow this link.

  • We already have a couple of conferences lined up along the way. To see the schedule, follow this link. We would be happy to met with you!

We are also looking for an apartment in Paris or the surrounding area, starting in mid-May 2010. Any help or suggestions would be most welcome!

In the Tropics

At the end of another straight stretch of road, we finally got La Paz in our sights. 35 km later, we arrived and were charmed by the little city, both bustling and nonchalant.

We stayed a couple of days, enough time to visit an IMF: ASP Financiera.

Then we rode to the ferry dock in Pichilingue, 16 km outside of La Paz. The ferry left at 11:00 pm, and we wanted to be at the docks just before sundown, at 5:30. So we waited. Despite expectations to the contrary, boarding the ferry was an organized affair, but unfortunately, the trip took longer than we thought: instead of arriving at 1:00 the next afternoon, we didn’t get in until 4:00 pm.

Because of that, we stayed in Mazatlán that night, and got to see a traditional celebration: on the 12th of December, children get dressed up in traditional costumes and march around in front of the church to honour Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Now that we’ve crossed the Tropic of Cancer, we’re headed in the direction of Guadalajara, and we’ll start our gradual ascent.
