      Many years ago, in Pana, I started to get young street kids shoe polishers to polish their own shoes ( I didnt want to just give them money) soon they were all wearing polishable shoes! lol
      They felt like they earned their money and I always told them how good they looked after. Now I always take a pair of shoes that can be polished and man do they shine!

    Noraly- On a more serious note, I want to share something with you and the other bikers following you here: I have a close friend who is an eye doctor. He is also a biker. He treats many other bikers with eye issues. He told me the importance of wearing goggles and not a visor cover. I know you wear goggles . He said that air travels up under a visor when in motion. This air dries the eyes badly. Dry eyes can lead to blindness or other problems. If the rest of you don't wear goggles, you should.
    He also said to carry a small bottle of moisturizing eye drops in your riding jacket. Every hour of riding, place a drop in each eye. This will prevent a LOT of problems with the eyes.
    Just a tip for everyone.

I have had a wild 6 "/ 15cm Amazon tarantula in my hands in the middle of the Amazon, it was a tarantula that most likely never had contact with a human before we found it. It never showed any kind of aggression.

      I'm up to 7 times I've watched and still can't comprehend what it would be like to be there. I don't have anything to prepare me for that much magic. The place is "stunning" and "so amazing" but the whole video is indescribably excellent. I bet nobody has done a video close to this one at Semuc Champey. I probably need to search UA-cam for Semuc Champey videos but, I need to watch this one a few more times.

      Yes Guatemala and Alska are so beautiful but beautiful Guatemala has many more variety. Guatemala is so beautiful, rich, unique and magical. The Malvinas belong to Argentina 🇦🇷 and Belice belongs to Guatemala 🇦🇷. Guatemala has 20 micro-climates from the highland towns at about 12,000 feet above sea level to the pristine beaches of the pacific and Atlantic oceans. God bless

      Thanks for sharing. Is so beautiful and rich the Kingdom of Guatemala established since 1609 and that extends from El Soconusco (today Chiapas) to part of Panama. Guatemala is 12th producer of silver in the world and 20th producer of gold besides having massive reserves of nickel, jade and so many other natural resources too bad for almost a century big foreign multinational anglosaxon corporations have been taking almost everything. Long live Juan Santamaria the heroe of Costa Rica who died in battle against the anglo pirates. The Malvinas belong to Argentina 🇦🇷, The Esequibo belongs to Venezuela 🇻🇪 and Belice belongs to Guatemala 🇦🇷. God bless

      Yes so far 4 times. I had to show my husband, then show my son the blue water, and another time to reiterate the huge spider. My son is on board with packing up and moving there. Also my husband wants to be a monkey and live there in the wilderness 😂 at least that’s what he told the kids. I’ll take that as, hopefully we have an opportunity to visit one day. But I might need to monitor my husband’s itchy boot syndrome Bc I don’t want to be as wild as a monkey. 😊

Quieren cerrar la ruta de la droga sudamericana hacia Europa, debilitando al Cartel del Golfo, Cartel de La Familia, Cartel de Cali y Cartel de Medellín para luego sacarlos también como los rusos haciendo que la alianza Hells Angels y Bloods sea más influyente y poderosa. en Centro y Sudamérica. Tengo acceso a información de Hells Angels y Bloods de alto rango. Ellos negarán esto hasta que se haga, pero no esperes a que sea demasiado tarde para prevenir lo que viene, tienes que informar a tus líderes. Debes salvar el trabajo de tus antepasados ​​boicoteando y matando a los miembros locales de Hells Angels y Bloods, líderes de capítulos y líderes de alto rango lo antes posible, cuanto más alto sea el rango, mejor, pero un miembro sigue siendo un miembro. Es hora, mañana puede ser demasiado tarde. Creen que sus objetivos no se darán cuenta y evitarán su caída antes de que sea demasiado tarde, pero desafortunadamente la información salió a la luz. ¡Haz tu parte para que esto no suceda, demuestra tu valía! ¡Por el arduo trabajo y los sacrificios de los ancestros y por el futuro de los niños!

If she sold the rights, she would make several million US$.
