Hey Mom! A Bike!

Day: 161 So two of the German girls, Christina and Agatha, live here in Argentina. Camilla is Agatha’s cousin who is down for a month visiting and Chris is traveling alone before he starts his career in mechanical engineering next month in Germany. The reason I say all this is because now I have a [...]

Into Patagonia

Day: 160 Blinking awake to a flashlight being shined up and down the isle my first thought was “Damn, and I still on this bus.” I realized I was and that we had just crossed into a new Argentine province so the bus was being checked out for contraband/suspicious thing. I quickly lost interest, closed [...]

A Day On A Bus

Day: 159 I sat on a bus all day; looked at hundreds of kilometers of scenery that looked very much in parts like the corn fields of Nebraska and in other parts like the 395 in California from Kramer Junction to Line Pine. The only interesting thing that happened at all is when I went [...]

I Recoleta My Day

Day: 158 I don’t know why, but it’s been so hard to get motivated to write lately, It may be because I have started to shoot everything in RAW format so it has already almost tripled my time at the computer downloading and editing. Or, it may just that I am a lazy bastard. Most [...]

During my wandering today I [...]

Waking Up x 3

Day:155     6am: Blinking the couple hours of sleep from my eyes I think I can’t believe I am still on this G.D. (G.D.=Goddamn, I was going to be PC, but changed my mind) plane..   We finally landed just before 8 am and had the exquisite pleasure of waiting for an hour to [...]

Trains and Buses?!? In L.A.?!?

Day: 154     This morning started out with what I thought could very well be one of my greatest travel (mis)adventures yet; public transportation through 65 miles of Southern California.  Now for those of you that can’t comprehend, it’s just like the old song “Nobody Walks in LA”, we all have cars and most [...]
