Ride along with The Flying Gringo as he travels the world on his motorcycle, recumbent bicycle, bus and the occasional dogcart. Follow his adventures as he dodges donkeys, trucks, and bugs the size of a baby's head. You'll see some of the most desolate and destroyed places this side of the world. And you'll also enjoy the splendor of some of the most beautiful, from the coral reefs of Honduras, to Andean mountain passes, to the lush Amazon basin (Except that he got thrown out of Brazil.)
Mercedes, Uruguay
The very clever plan was to tell the Uruguayans how much I love their country, then go up the coast 60 miles and exit back to Argentina. But in Paysandu, I encountered the only Argentine border official who reads english and could tell that the document I presented her as proof of insurance is my registration, and the other one knew enough about motorcycles to know that a Moto Guzzi is not an MuZ, and the card I gave them next is for the wrong motorcycle.
So I'm in a cybercafe in Mercedes, printing up a new insurance card for the MuZ. I will cross back over where I had all the problems, but did not get asked for proof of insurance.
