13/12/2010:
After spending a day in the Everglades Natural Park, watching alligators and diversity of birds, not the saltwater crocodiles, we reached Fort Myers, a town on the west coast of Florida where we planned to start planning the next month of thetravel. In addition, we also had the opportunity to share some wonderful days with Lori, a woman of Couchsurfing with whom we stayed and entertained us with interesting conversations about psychology.

That´s when, for the first time in four years and a half of travel, I startedto seriously consider returning home before the end of the journey across America, breaking this long project. It was time now that I had decided how my life would be like at the end of the trip: basically spending enough time writing one or more books that reflect my thoughts and my beliefs. They are thoughts and beliefs that have grown over the first years of the travel but long ago remain unchanged and currently begin to make me impatient to start writing at one time or another. Its also time since the travel gives me no knowledge nor substantial force to modify, adapt or refine these thoughts and beliefs, and at most only gives me knowledge that reinforce or strengthen more my ideas. I feel like the end of the journey through Asia and America this principle have not been so helpful to my knowledge.

For a moment I allowed myself to imagine how it could abruptly interrupt the trip, while assessing the consequences of doing so. I got ready to pardon even if not completing a project so important, without being influenced by the recriminations that my parents had as a child, accusing me of leaving many projects at half. I took a load off at the thought that i was not obliged to continue this journey and to interrupt was a choice entirely possible. But while I took out this pressure I was relieved and I looked to the future of this with optimism. So I decided to give another opportunity to the travel and do not make any decisions until well into Latin America. At the same time I raised a new travel objective. Until now i believed to have discovered the principal truths of religion and philosophy and even thought I knew the secret of happiness. Still I have not had a clear answer to a question that occasionally had to take the pulse of the world: how to solve the main problems of mankind? The answer seemed too complex to be understood by one person, but I still raised to think of it much more frequently by the end of the trip and perhaps collect enough findings to write a book when home.

Perhaps because of these thoughts, I was easier to be convinced by Alexandra to fly to Mexico from Florida and not from Texas. For months we had discovered it would be very difficult to travel with the van purchased in Los Angeles to Central America, because the legislation of these countries forced us to return to the U.S. to sell the car. So, we had decided to sell the car before entering Mexico and then buy a flight to the capital, Mexico City, because we were informed by various sources it was quite dangerous and risky to cross the border by bus. We had planned to spend Christmas in New Orleans and the end of the year in Texas, but Alexandra was looking for couchsurfing hosts in New Orleans and said there were too few and then informed me that the airline tickets to Mexico City were cheaper from Florida that from Texas. So do not cost me too much to accept your proposal, sacrificing the following destinations in the U.S. in exchange for availability of 4 quiet weeks I could devote to finish writing the book of Africa and try to sell the Chevy Astro Van. We bought a plane ticket for the 13th of January, we contacted more Couchsurfing people in Florida to avoid having to sleep in the van, Ted accepted a proposal to celebrate Christmas with him and we began to put ads to sell the car in Florida. Unfortunately, the last day the car did not start for the first time in all the trip. We call on the AAA and we had taken the car to a garage, where they discovered that the battery did not load properly, and they changed it solving the problem.
