Up to date updates

I would like to apologize for the lack of keeping this thing up to date and current. traveling as fast and as crazy as we have been has left us sleeping in tents, avoiding police, and pinching every penny to put into the gas tank.
We now sit here in Guatemala, We've gone through 4 country's now with the panamobile. Hours of driving, hours of sweating, days of excitement and pure boredom. we feel as if were in a movie as we swindle through boarders, dive to the bottom of the sea and meet magical lady's along the way.

Let me explain the chicks below for a second. The day that we got the car fixed my friend Travis flew in to Costa Rica. We saw these chicks being sold on the side of the road and decided that we needed to buy some. As you can tell by the pictures they're the cutest creatures on this planet, second to a panda bear which I'm not going to cuddle up against even though its tempting. Anyways we hid the chicks from shawn and ryan for about 20 hours, until ryan accused me of smuggling something in my suspicious brown box. We were going to be crossing the boarder the next day and the other guys said we should get rid of them. I was under the impression at this point that we could probably smuggle them accross the boarder, until a little later in the day the chicks almost got our car inspected and taken away by a local police officer. So the chicks needed a new home and we found one witha lady who let us sleep in her vacant office space in a horrible little town near the boarder of Costa Rica.

Just after we had crossed the boarder into Honduras after a lenthy wait and a little help from the American embasy, we were pulled over by a group of police officers. The told us to get out of the car as they searched it for who knows what drugs, alcohol, maybe baby chickens. Anyways none the less they were searching the ca for the first time since we started our journey back to the states. after a few minutes they let us go and told us to be careful of robbers along the way. The next mornig after we had camped in the woods that night by a radio tower shawn had notice that he was missing money fro his wallet and realized that the police had stolen his money the night earlier. Now alot of people have told us to watch out because we'll probably get robbed, we just didn't realize that the only time that we would get robbed on this trip would be by the
police.

so now the time comes to concure a Giant called Mexico. Ive been dredding driving back throught that country. Its the hottest place on the planet and a huge country to say the least. but tommorrow we'll enter into its boarders illegal and with one goal in mind, Getting this car and ourselves finally home.

Once again if your reading this you probably know Me(David), Ryan, or Shawn and we kinda need your help. We've gotten down to our last dollars, and were all thinking of going on the water diet( only water) all the way through mexico due to not having any money to get home. So what Im pleading, begging, and asking if you could drop a couple of dollars in the paypal account to the right(DONATE BUTTON) we would all appreciate it more then you know. Thanks again for all of your support. Also remember that any donation over 15$ we will send you a free DVD of In pursuit of Panama. Any donation will help though!!!!!!

love the Panamobile crew!!!
