A is for America

San Cristobal Frontera,Guatemala, November 2009.

Many trucks go trans America and have to wait at the border between Guatemala and El Salvador.
We drove down from Canada to Panama. Border crossings in Central America with our car were never easy. With little spanish, a lot of paper works (sometimes in five different offices) and many non authorized people waiting for us (we don't use agents at all). But it was always an experience, a first look on the new country, a surprise.
And while we had to wait there, it was a great opportunity for photography.

This is my first contribution to the ABC Wednesday.

And of course I wonder why A is for all continents except Europe.

Borders, strange places. Best to pass the time looking where trucks are from, although must admit I have the nerdish habit of doing that all the time.
Welcome and happy to see you on ABC Wednesday
