…of the World! We sailed the Magellan Strait, we swam with sharks and flew over the Nazca lines, got stuck in the salt desert, we ate churrasco and drank Reb Bull, the few , the proud!!! (heh, i do hope U.S. Army P.R. sees this and offers me a job that I won’t accept).
We did it! According to plan, no delay, no dilly-dally, we circled a continent just as we were meant to do.
By know, you all know our feats and adventures. And you know what, it was all worth it…every drop of sweat, every strained nerve, every sprained ankle, every dusty and bumpy road. Because at the end of the day, we went to the end of the world, and that’s a fact.
I want to thank our friends, Go and Lili and Calin and Radu – we would not be here without you. And to everyone who was with us along the way, reading the blog and seeing the pictures and cheering us along. Its been a fantastic trip and experience, even more so because we shared it with you all. And I’m never the nice-mushy type, but I wanna give shout-out to my great man, Serban, who sailed us smoothly through it all. Thankies all, and get ready for Asia:)
Less cocky now: today we entered Buenos Aires. And as the gods willed it, we entered it with laurels, people applauding and whistling loudly, lots of flags, etc…the parade. Because we entered at the same time, same column as the Dakkar racers, and we looked the part. It was really cool to see Argentinians wave flags and salute us, like it was all planned.
We’re gonna get really clean now, wash our car, clothes, sees and rest. If I was wild and gaga over other cities, well, disregard that, B.A. really takes the cake. Its like Paris. I’ve only been here for 5 hours, we had an nice calamari and octopus dinner, and from the little that I saw and tasted, I think this my city. But more to come on this.
We have a very, very nice and clean apartment but the air conditioning is a bit iffy, however, personally, I don’t mind it.
Tomorrow we will start sightseeing, and I already saw a Supermercado that sells fresh corn and cherries, yum, the combo:)
And this is all, folks, for tonite’s edition.
Hugs,D.
