... One surgery & one stray at a time: with your support we WILL end the tragedy of homeless pets in developing nations! See you next time!

The Spay Panama facility, spotless, well organized and cranking out the surgeries...

... And just like that, after pedaling 4 almost 10,000 kms since 2009, it is over! Now all is left are the 1,000 kms back to Costa Rica...

The banner announcing the arrival of the 2011 C4S at the HQ of Spay Panama...

... Where once the Spanish Conquistadores ruled, now Spay Panama tirelessly works to save companion animals...

... Which immediately strikes you with its Colonial beauty...

Entering the Casco Antiguo or "Old Panama City..."

Crossing the Puente Las Americas over the Pacific side of the Panama Canal...

The final kms are always hard, but the end of a trip that started in 2010 in Utah is in sight...

A stern reminder of the hazards of the road in developing nations...

... A traveling mate shares a portion of the trail with me: "Buena suerte" wherever you are, buddy!

Luckily rest stop are frequent, so I can pace myself and focus on going the distance...

... Weather permitting, tomorrow I will arrive on schedule.

... I load up & prepare 4 a solid 10 hrs in the saddle...

Windy corridor: I am about 250 clicks fm the Canal...

I elect to then stay here 4 the night...

... Where I find a spare master link.

... I have no choice but back track into town...

A few kms past Santiago I realize my chain needs some serious attention again...
