America bound..

indulging in wine in 90 degree weather is less than ideal but nonetheless a good experience. We are in Mendoza, wine county Argentina. All the wine in Argentina is produced here and wine is common as water. But this 90 degree heat...

Anyway I am not about to write anymore... tomorrow morning we take a bus across the Andes Mountain range (again) into Santiago, capital of Chile and our flight out is at midnight!

Its been a long 3 weeks, in short:

6 books, 3 countries, 4 border crossings, 100 hours of bus rides, 1 flight to the end of the world, many packets of pasta and salsa de tomate.... and now towards the end in Mendoza some extravagent expenditures on steak and wine... one last bus ride into Santiago tomorrow and Champaign here we come!

6 books in 3 weeks this is a record:

1. The only Road North
2. A million little pieces
3. The time travellers wife
4. On the far side of the Mountain
5. The Sheltering Sky
6. The Continental Drifter

*did I mention a plethora of beautiful women? Argentinians. yes. extremely.

Hasta el proximo viaje! Adios!
