Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia. 2 nights and 3 days of amazingness, with a guide/driver who was drunk/hungover for about 50% of the time. Now in Buenos Aires, my future involves a polo match, a soccer game, and some tango. Ciao!

Just a reminder that my blog is up on http://www.npac.ca this week, tomorrow being the last post. Below are a few of the photos posted to the blog over the past little while.

the journey.

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

Well we have made it over 1000 kms via a 150cc made-in-China quality mototaxi. We are now in Puno, Peru and it is looking more and more like we won´t be able to continue via mototaxi because the organizers, The Adventurists, have failed to take the necessary precautions in dealing with paperwork at the border. Almost every single team has quit, there are a few teams who are going to try to press on Monday morning when the border opens for exporting vehicles.

I have been terrible at getting in front of a computer and updating my blog, but there have been so many amazing things to see and do along the way that it is always so difficult to sit in front of a computer.

Anyways, here are just a few of the thousands of photos I have taken along the way. It has been an amazing ride over some crazy 14,000 ft passes, on dirt and rock roads with several-hundred-foot cliffside drops, and through some tiny villages that hardly any gringos ever visit. The journey continues…

All from Huancayo before the taking off on the Mototaxi Junket. More photos and details from our journey in the next few days….Lots to talk about, but never enough time.

Until next time,
Buenos Noches,

We have this cool little thingy that we try to turn on every morning that beams our location up to some satillites and loads our location on a map. So, Mom, Grandma, and anyone else who reads my blog, you can get a daily update as to where I´m at, because getting time to post photos at internet cafes is incredibly hard when we are doing 12 hour days….(trust me, those straight lines are not the way we go, we did a mountain pass at around 14,000 feet yesterday!) If you want to continue to follow our progress click ¨link to this post¨ at the bottom, and then save that url in your bookmarks. As you can see on the map, we are off to Cusco tomorrow, and Machu Pichu the day after. Good times, good times!
