Last few days have been a blur.
Drove out of the lonely wildness of Argentina back into the lush Andean foothills of Chile on the 19th. Beautiful riding. No sign from the maps that it would be so stunning. The land is wide open shrubland with mountains rising to the horizon and volcanoes keeping sentry in the distance. Cattle, horses and hawks complete the landscape.
Still lots of dirt - banged my leg on a stretch when the bike heaved to the right. It´s fine but it was a good reminder to be very, very cautious out here.
Caught my breath with an extra day in Pucon - a quirky town catering to backpackers and independent tourists. With a huge, beautiful lake and lots of good day trips, a lot of folks make it a base for a week or so in Middle Chile.

| Big skies and lonely roads. |

| There are more hawks than people in this part of Argentina. |

| This volcano dominates the landscape at over 12,000 feet... no matter how far you drive it keeps an eye on you. |
