Glad to hear your still alive and planning on continuing through the Southern Hemisphere though I don't know if you can convince me to do any ship journey's any time soon lol.Ought to be hot in Mexico during summer time but probably no worse than Fl. so I guess the tour there last summer was good preparation for this segment also.If I do any summer touring in Fl. this year I think I'll get one of those mini fans for my tent but hopefully you will be able to find enough hosts that you won't have to do too much camping in the heat.Look foward to your Mexico/South American journals as I especially liked the ones outside of mainland U.S.
