Hola Hola!

After a long break, we’re back in the game!

In order to catch you up on all the great stuff we’ve seen in the last month, we may have two updates per week for the next month. Once we get caught up, we’ll be back to a lighter schedule.

After a short ferry ride, Mike, Chris and I pedaled back onto mainland South America. Within two days we approached the city of Puerto Montt. This port city, about the size of Allentown, PA, had a few surprises in store for us, including a bee sting to the jugular for me and lots of goodies mailed down by friends and family back home for the group. Daniel also rejoined us after his time in Santiago. Puerto Montt will always be as remembered the location of the first One Road South McDonald’s Fest, where for almost two hours the guys and I binged on the greasy but oh-so-tasty fast food. We left town that same day and I spent the next day paying for it with the runs and severe stomach cramps. Next time, it’s BK.

Too Easy!

I woke up this morning in a nice, soft bed, with a full stomach, in a climate-controlled house, and had the distinct feeling that this trip is getting too easy. We’ve come a long way from the windswept barrenness of the Pampas, the freezing rain of Patagonia, and the terrible washboard roads of the Carreterra Austral. We know ourselves now. And we know each other. We know Who provides for us. And we’ve gotten comfortable in this groove.
