One Hundred Years On The Campo.
/2 Comments/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue /by allanAgriculture is arguably Argentina’s most important industry. From the hundreds of thousands of sheep herded in Patagonia to the infamous cattle that yields the best steak in the world to the sunflowers, soy, herbs, vegetables, vineyards and more, it’s history is long and rich. Perhaps it started with the Jesuit missionaries who first taught the […]
Bolivar. Friends. Family. Fun.
/0 Comments/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue /by allanNever a stranger. From Daniel’s family to all his friends I never felt like a stranger. They all seem to know me, where I’d been and how I’d met Daniel. But one part of the Argentina culture that truly came alive for me in Bolivar was the custom of greeting friends with a small kiss […]
Infamous Ruta 3 – Argentina
/3 Comments/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue /by allanIt still amazes me at what time the Argentineans eat dinner.

There seems to be some points in Chile that are still “continental” proper and ultimately […]

Virtually the only way to get on the island is to pass through Chile. So this means over the period of any stay one must cross the […]
The Last of Tierra del Fuego.
/4 Comments/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue /by allanLeaving Ushuaia in the rain. I pulled up the stakes today and took a lazily route out of Ushuaia. For the first time in five days it rained. Of course. When I’m going to ride. It wasn’t a hard pelting rain, just a nuisance. I didn’t like the pic I grabbed coming into town earlier […]
Thinking about heading north.
/0 Comments/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue /by allanThe sunrise this morning over the channel really sent chills through my road worn and weary body. I wandered the streets. Watched people. And continued to contemplate my whereabouts and my next destination. Some people never stray from the main drag in Ushuaia. Today I actually walked up and down the tourist laden stretch of […]
