Alas! (Sarge claims that this is a negative term, but in my book it means "great heavens!"- so read it that way) We've made it to the end of the world! Currently located in Ushuaia, we're a mere 3 blocks away from the Beagle Channel, sunken ships, and the legacy of Darwin. Not the prettiest of all port cities (but we're biased graduates of the College of Charleston), Ushuaia is more of a city on which to ponder the history than rave about the quaint Magellanic ho...

The 20-hour bus ride to San Carlos de Bariloche flew by with reclinable "semi-camas" (half-beds) and front-row seats for Soul Surfer, which we "reluctantly" watched 2 times. There was also a very friendly staff that, no matter what, woke up both Sarge and I, drooling and dreaming, for each meal. (We rode with Via Bariloche- two thumbs up). S.C. de Bariloche was an amazing city with an even more incredible view of Chile right across the lake. A volcano e...

Our first adventure is coming to an end... Ciao, Buenos Aires! We've fallen in love with this city, but now it's time for a little more rugged. We're now headed to WWOOF in Cholila in the Chubut region. We'll be living with a young couple and helping out with their organic garden, building things, etc. Not exactly sure what type of work, but the guy asked if we knew how to work with machetes. We'll be tenting it for the month, but we can also stay, when ou...

3500+ kilometers down, and we only had to pay the cops off once the entire trip. Our 9 to 10 day trip is better noted, day-by-day, in the Misiones photo album. And it gives a better idea of our trip because words don't quite express the beauty of some things we saw. Actually photos, as well, can hardly describe. The ones of Iguazu don't even do justice... But given our white Volkswagen Gol (named "Blanquita"), we headed out of BA. 2 hours into the r...

We're off to Iguazu Falls tomorrow! Car rented, an atlas bought, and a brief idea of where we may stop to camp along the way. And Sarge gets to drive all 40+ hours. (Good) for many reasons: A, I can't drive stick. B, "I can't drive well" (arguable). C, I can read the whole time since we don't have CDs and we have listened to almost every popular radio song 1000 times on the music video channel. SO EXCITED. We'll probably be eating a lot of pasta and tuna...
