beautiful nothingness






Hola! Lot's to catch up on... I've spent much of the past week traveling without simple luxuries like wifi and cell phones and toilets that you can put paper in. Last Friday was my last night in Bariloche, so I celebrated accordingly at the casino with my Argentine friend Mario. I could have done well, but I wanted to make my brother Aaron proud, so I played black jack until 4 am and lost everything.

At 6am [after a sad goodbye to Heidi :-( ], I jumped on a bus headed south through Patagonia towards El Chalten and El Calafate. Two days on a bus... half of which on dirt roads, and the landscape looked similiar to the picture I posted with the skull the entire time. I'll have more about those trips soon, but for now just some teaser pictures. I met a nice Canadian from Vancouver, an Argentine from Cordoba, and an Italian who has been living in Ecuador on the bus and have been traveling with them ever since. More to come... I'll be traveling to Buenos Aires on Sunday and from then on should have pretty reliable internet. Ciao for now...

  1. Honestly, these pics are ridic! Quit taking postcard photos and come explore BsAs w/ me stat! I have nothing half as good to offer as that landscape except of course my own shining personality, which is always incentive enough, por supuesto! ;)

  2. Ian, Ian , Ian... Some advice from my good friend Kenny Rogers... "Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run."
