At last, South America

On Monday morning, as planned, we drove to the cargo area of the Panama City airport, bid our bikes goodbye, transferred to the passenger terminal, and flew to Bogota. Not as planned, our bikes failed to travel Monday. We have received word that they arrived this morning, and are hoping to go to the airport tomorrow morning to get them. It´s been a real runaround, largely because we chose to use an agency to "help" us with shipping the bikes. But it looks like we´ve got things worked out today. It really seems weird to not have the bike, and the experience of getting it out of customs and back on the road cannot come too soon. We´ll post some pictures and details later.
