It´s been almost five weeks since we left home, and there´s been as much adventure packed into that time as we could handle. Now that we´re in South America, the fun continues. We´ve put together another photo album for you, and though the captions are a little long, I´ve done my best to tell what I could of this amazing saga.
Oh. My. Goodness. Those pictures of the Andes are amazing. What an amazing adventure going over the mountains! A great story to be told for years to come! Simply amazing. You boys must really have someone looking out for you!

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?"

I'm assuming that Trevor was responsible for the bloody bathtub.
Yup, and it wasn´t even a bad one.
Thanks so much for keeping us updated! Hutch and I regularly check up on you to see how you're doing. We love it!

Maybe it's a poem?
Maybe not?
*snaps*
Good poem
Trev often gets nosebleeds. Sometimes they leave an interesting image behind :)
Fantastic! As I've told Will so often, I wish I were there. You make the flat tires and the mud sound easy.
God Speed.
