motorcycle diaries: denzel the moto

moto - [mo’-to]
spanish for "motorcycle".


A few months ago, Emily and I moved into our new place; an awesome little house called a "casita". Our new place is about a 10-15 minute walk from school so naturally I was left with 2 options: get up extra early and make the walk or get to work in STYLE.

For much of the summer I had talked to Emily about getting a moto, which is the most common form of transportation in our city of Jarabacoa, but had never really totally decided. 

That was until our good friend Keith came over to hang out one day. Keith said he had decided to buy a moto for this year and was going to look tomorrow. That was all the catalyst I needed. The next day Keith and I were riding around town on our new shiny motos "Denzel" my beautiful Zongshen moto (shown below) and "Will Smith" Keith's Krypton moto.


Since that day, relaxing weekend moto rides have become one of Emily and my favorite activities. It is a great way to "get away" for an hour and explore our beautiful surroundings.
