      Yep, I think she is her own 'angel', as such. Here in the UK, we say, 'What goes around, comes around'. So in Noraly's case, I think that her kindness and generosity for others, brings out the best in many other people.

    Noraly, find yourself a Velcro strap and keep it wrapped out of the way on the right handlebar. Use it to lock the front brake lever. You'll find it a lot easier to lift the bike if both wheels don't roll. In today's episode the front wheel kept rolling out while you were trying to lift the bike.
    Good luck and thanks for taking us on your amazing adventure.

But watching and listening to Noraly, when faced with adversity that for most people, including myself, that would be a catastrophe and would leave little to the imagination with respect to colorful verbal metaphors, is just completely inspiring. I watch these videos and it is as if a wave of positivity and optimism washes over me, enveloping me in desire to be a better person, and challenges me to see the best in every situation regardless of just how bad a situation is. My new manta… “What would Noraly do?!” And that is not a bad path to follow.

Take it off your problem list and focus on living life as it comes. “ That philosophy has helped me keep my problem list realistic and manageable in life, avoid depression times, heal my anxiety and go forward when stuck in life.

After watching today's episode, I can only agree. The greatest quality you have is that you never give up and you approach every problem with a positive attitude. You bring out the best in everyone you meet. Today the road was bad, but you travelled it anyway as best you could. Life is too short to be miserable. Shine on Noraly. :)

    Wow, public baths in a volcanic area. Now that really reminds of the excavations at Pompei and Herculaneum! The Roman baths were quite spectacular and served as important social gathering sites. Lake Atitlan was remarkable, it’s one of the larger calderas in the world. When you go through the US I hope you get a chance to stop at Crater Lake, Oregon. Also one of the larger calderas in the world.

    Many crashes have occurred since one event took place. You had road tires installed. I know you had to because they were the only ones available but I say this so you don’t beat yourself up. We can obviously see the difference is these tires since we have seen you go through much worse before with no adverse results. Keep smiling and thank goodness you just dump the bike and don’t try to save it. Just glad no serious injuries. You are one tough cookie

    These last couple episodes brought back so many memories for me! I spent a few weeks in Xela with a local family 2 1/2 years ago while I was doing some volunteer work. They took me Panajachel on Lake Atitlan, such a beautiful place. I miss it there so much and miss my host family a ton too. Everyone was so kind there. I've been wanting to go back since I left but haven't had the chance yet. I want to do some two wheel exploring next time I make it there. Hopefully this year!

      I live on Lake Atitlan and some of the roads here are ridiculous! Fortunately over the years, they're getting better, but if you're a fan of her channel, she doesn't take the easy road. That road with the police is notorious around here. I never rode it and now that I've seen it on video, there's no way in hell that I'm gonna attempt that. lol

    No shame in admitting defeat on that rocky road. You must have learned from Charley's mistakes, he seams to spend more time picking up his bike ( the hard way i might add) out of stubborn perseverance. You make riding look so easy in comparison. I never realized until you introduced me to the Sinewan approach. Your hard work never ceases to AMAZE me, thank you!😻
