Getting dirty. |
Long day today. Woke up to frost outside. 2 hours of very cold, fast, riding. Then dirt, then hot desert sun towards the end of the day.
Home tonight is a village called Junin de Los Andes. I have finally found my fantasy of a Latin American frontier town - the streets are mostly unpaved and cowboys on horseback patrol the streets. It is hot and dusty. It´s another one of those towns that feels run down when you drive past. But, walk around and folks are optimistic and cheerful. The internet cafe has new computers. A new supermarket opened in town. Dusty, but not down.
Tomorrow will be a shorter day, back into Chile towards the Ruta Panamerica to make some heavily miles to the north.
Fresh snow starting to fall this time of year. |
