Update

Pair of guanacos, Parque Patagonia, Chile.

I have not done my job, I have not kept up with posts on my trip, my first big outdoor adventure, my trip to South America.  I survived, I am back in the U.S. (unfortunately), but I must move on, get on with my life.  I will quickly finish this trip in subsequent posts.  I will get to Zarate, a port city west of Buenos Aires, Argentina.  I would ship my van from there, I would hang for days making sure Argentinian customs did not have any problems, and then eventually, I would fly back to the US.  I was glad to be back, initially, but well, time has allowed me to reflect, better appreciate what I had done, where I had gone, what I have seen and experienced.  Even with the challenges, the frequent uncertainty, issues with the language barrier, it was still a blast.  We, me and my van survived, we both made it back to the US, and actually, we have enjoyed a number of smaller, less adventurous outdoor adventures since.  I hope that continues.
