its virtual keyboard for most of their daily communications.

07 Photographer takes iPad users on a free motorcycle ride through Mexico
When the photographer left Los Angeles a few years ago for a
five month expedition to Latin America, little did he know that
there was no going back. In the following years, the epic adventure
now nicknamed "LA2BA" would cover 42,000 miles through 15
countries, providing a vast supply of exceptional photographic
opportunities and a rare chance to meet the contrasting
cultures of an entire continent.
