Day 100
The honeymoon is over. At least that's what they say when a new president has been in office for 100 days. Now that I've hit the century mark in my travels, is it time for me to stop having fun and start doing some hard work? Of course not!… Read More »

Day 99
The bus last night was a killer. As soon as I stepped aboard, I saw that the seats did not fold down into beds, semi-beds, or even somewhat comfortable reclining positions. They played a movie, but it was a horribly-made illegal copy of a combination martial-arts-time-travel flick. During the… Read More »

Day 98
This morning, Jenny and I got up really early and took a bus to Las Alerces National Park. I thought the park was right next to town, but it ended up taking two and a half hours to get there. I slept on and off the whole way, but… Read More »

Day 97
Esquel is the last place the public buses go to on the way south through western Argentina. Figuring out where to go next wouldn't be easy, so Jenny and I dedicated the day to trying to figure out what to do next. There appeared to be four options:

Day 96
I spent this afternoon uploading photos. The Internet is really slow here, but I have no other choice if I want to keep my site up-to-date. I also chatted with several friends online, which was a nice way to start the new year (I know, a day late).

Day 94
I celebrated New Years Eve with a bunch of people in my hostel. Nobody was quite sure how the celebrations would work because people don't even finish dinner until midnight here, and going out doesn't happen till a few hours after that. Some girls went to… Read More »

Day 93
I had to get up way too early today, at something like 7:00 in the morning. I couldn't even think I was so tired, yet I had already paid for my trip, so I had to go. I was going to Victoria Island, near Bariloche where I am staying.

Day 92
The area I'm in is famous for its skiing. The hills are big and the views are incredible. The only problem is that it's summer now so they are closed. Actually, it's not really a problem for me because the fact that they are closed is probably saving me… Read More »

Day 91
I hadn't gotten a chance to check out the city of Bariloche yesterday, so I took a walk around town this morning. The city is located on a huge lake next to a national park. Mountains and forests are everywhere here. There is a Read More »
