With over two weeks in Tucuman under our belts, Trevor and I are feeling rather well acquainted with the city. Check out the photos and comments of our time here!
I am convinced that if the world comes close to falling apart, it will be held together NOT by heavy lugs like the UN, APEC or Mercosur, but by the millions of small (bicycle?)chains of personal linkages like those illustrated by the convivial dinners and warm embraces pictured herein. This is why parapetetic Rick Steves recently opined in a Seattle Town Meeting that "travel is a very political act". To pedal a mile (or 10k) on someone else's roadway is a very profound experience. ENJOY!
Oh man I miss that place!!! And the people. I think about those people that we met oh so long ago, and think to myself, "That's how God inteded us to treat eachother." Lucky!!

The Team-Two Months In
Two months into their journey, the team is reunited at the airport in Buenos Aires
The Team
Fernando, Trevor, and William; 44 days until D-day (departure day that is)
The Birthing Process
The idea was birthed sometime in the year 2005 as a pipe dream, a great idea, some distant desire. What was the idea? Well, William thought, "It sure would be fun to bike from Seattle to Argentina someday." And well...that was it. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? (okay, maybe you think I'm insane, but go with it for a second) Yeah, sounds fun, but who's actually going to do it? On a camping trip at Ross Lake during the summer of 2006, William mentioned to Trevor his far off, whistful desire to bike to Argentina with Fernando. Trevor then got quite excited by the idea. During a surprise birthday party thrown a few weeks later for William, Trevor and Brian (another biking friend) got to talking about what was somehow becoming a "plan" to bike to Argentina, and they were diggin' it. The question was then posed, "When are we biking to Argentina?"

Was that Archibald in one of those charming postcards? I loved them, and the newborn kitties! Mao!
