Ah ha ha! Oh my. I had not thought about collectivo rides for a long time! Love the tent spike and the mallet. Reminds me of when we forgot to take a wine opener to Costa Rica and used our tire iron from the rental car to open our wine each night. Love the dog watching you open that coconut. Awww you made my eyes get a little watery. I agree with Kendrick on the lowlight ~ I always feel rushed and there just is so much to see! AWESOME VIDEO!!!

It's my favorite game ever. I often play it with people at dinner time and ask them about their day... that way it makes you think, and everyone gets to talk.
Evening Mandy Lea and Kendrick. First of all huge fans. Have watched every single one of your video postings. Some more than once. You both are an inspiration much so that I’ve gone and did it. Did what you Say? The Mrs. and I have gone to the fine folks and Princesscraft RVs in Round Rock and bought ourselves our very own Tag XL. We’re set to pick it up this coming Saturday 4/6 and are very exited. Our salesman Lucas and PJ were very helpful and friendly. Hope to one day get to do a face to face meet. Soon we will make our own adventures (not FT as I’m still working for the man 😭). Meanwhile keep posting those great videos, great photos and Kendrick keep on running. Huge fans from South Texas Arnold/Josie Espinoza (our fur babies Chico, Hershey, Olive and Zoe).

Congratulations you guys! Mandy, you have NO IDEA how much you've inspired me. I started to watch your journeys a couple of years ago and thought, "Wow, what a great life to live - and she's doing this alone!" I had no idea that I was literally manifesting my future. Now I'm on the cusp of my own new journeys to begin very soon! Thank you so much for all your hard work, for enduring all the challenges, for braving the unknown. How will you top this? Europe perhaps? Love and light to both you and Kendrick ;-)
