Before we reach Santiago though I was curious to meet one of my (a little more distant) cousins. My Dad had a cousin who immigrated to Argentina with her husband in 1951. I had met her with 2 of her…
Side Trip to Paraguay and back to Puerto Iguazu
Wednesday morning after one last breakfast together with Frank and Mike we left our cozy Camping Internacional in Foz do Iguazu. Just 5 minutes into the ride it started to rain heavily. We put on our raingear while Mike…
A Rush For Brazil

Riding North on Ruta 3

Viva Argentina – Riding along Ruta 40
Well, good thing those motorcycle boots are adjustable, because my leg was still swollen. We left Tupiza after the extra day and after just an hour or so we reached the border to Argentina, thinking this should be an easy…
