London 23/08/09

Back to Europe.

It seems there are more and more restrictions for US visitors. I have been unable to extend my initial three months tourist permission in the States. Not even leaving the country for one day through Mexican border. For some days I was thinking soldier on with the trip illegally but I am sure I will not enjoy it in that way. My documentation was checked twice by cops from New York to Oklahoma. That means I could be checked again at any time. It that would happen, I would send to a detention center before being deported and my entry banned for 7 years. Nobody would care about my bike.

I decided on putting the second stage of my trip off. I will be back next year to do it, probably in Spring, In the meantime my bike, stuff and more things will be in Oklahoma.

During that time I am going to London again, where I got in just one day only temporary job and accommodation. Both things will be impossible in Spain so quickly. I appreciate that flexibility very much.

At the beginning, the interruption on my trip was very unpleasant. My plan was getting the West coast at once. However, few days later, it gives to me the chance to taste everything I have received from the trip. I will be back next year to keep learning and enjoy Americans’ friendship.

I am freezing this blog till then. Good luck to everybody.
