Ce premier article fait un peu bande annonce des "Randonneurs 3"mais c est bien par les mot ci dessus que je resumerais brievement notre projet de voyage. Un voyage qui devrait donc prendre forme mi Janvier 2009 avec un depart de Paris le 12 Janvier une arrivee programme a Monterrey au Nord du Mexique le 20 Janvier et un retour en Europe prevu pour l ete 2009.
Ce road trip me trainait dans la tete depuis mon premier voyage au Mexique en 2006 et apres avoir rencontre depuis 2 ans une quantite importante de voyageurs chevronnes me recommandant grandement l aventure.
Guilhem est arrivé a point pour se joindre a l aventure. Ce copain francais que je connais depuis l année Canadienne possede la meme passion que moi de decouvrir de nouveaux endroits et les gens qui y habitent et avait ete completement absorbe par la vie de Bishops, tout comme moi. Son energie legendaire de sudiste promet de pures moments, et peu etre se decouvrira t il lui aussi un peu latino. Ce blog sera aussi fait pour tout ses proches.
Le blog aura sans doute un style un peu different de me blogs precedent, a cause des contraintes de notre voyage (irregularité des articles) et dependant de la qualite des connexions internet sur le terrain. L anglais fera son apparition et les articles tenteront d etre bilingues autant que possible, ou bien les langues alterneront.
De toute facon c est une petite odyssee qui nous attends, une de celles qui marquent une vie. Il est bien difficile de realiser tout ca malgre toutes les heures passees a la preparation. Les mots manquent pour decrire la sensation de joie et d excitation a l idee de ce reve qui va se realiser. Mais attendons un peu et laissons les images, les personnages et les histoires parler d eux memes.
A la fin de cet article le schema (un peu basique!) de notre voyage
Un grand bonjour a tous.

1 dream. 2 friends. 2 backpacks. 1 itinerary for the trip. A bunch of friends on the way. Spanish. Help and learn. An experience.
This first catchy words might sound a bit like a cheesy movie trailer but this is pretty much the way how I would describe our project. This 5 to 6 months Trip will kick on January 12th from Paris, arriving in Mexico on January 20th and planning to return home to Europe for the summer 2009.
This road trip idea was on the back of my head for a while since I first went to Mexico in 2006 (rigth after leaving Canada) and after meeting a bunch of bad-ass travellers from different places telling me great stuffs about latin america.
Guilhem just jumped in to be part of the trip, and then the decision was made. I know Guilhem since the year I spent in Canada and he has the same passion as I do for discovering new places and new people, just like we did in Bishops in Canada. His legendary so-called “pump it up spirit” will surely bring some memorable moments throughout the trip and who knows, he might find out he is more latino than he thinks. This blog is also made for all his relatives and buddies.
This blog will probably be a little different from my previous blogs, since we wont have such a regular access to internet but especially because we will try to have it written in French AND English as much as possible.
Anyways its definitely a unique journey waiting for us, one of those journeys that change lives. It is actually very hard to realize whats coming up, even if we are preparing this trip for more than 4 months. There are no words to describe how glad and excited we are, just thinking that this crazy dream is going to come true. But lets wait a little bit for some pictures, characters or stories and lets just enjoy the ride.
Please find the basic Trip map below.
Cheers to all
