Neli, Maya, Victoria And Jason. Life Off the Road is tough. I told you last time how we were leaving Venice, and our life from before the Big Adventure behind, but I had no idea how fun the next chapter was going to be. We outnumbered the Humans! This is Archie. I may or may not have been forced to go swimming.

We are officially expecting a baby! Truth be told, we were unofficially trying to have a baby while we were still driving around South America.

On the road from Mexico to Argentina. Riding in to a glistening mountain lake was the highlight of our Chilean horse trek with Lot. Salto de las Rosas, San Rafael, Mendoza, Argentina. The mountains reflect as if the lake were a shimmering sheet of tinted glass. The gentle swish as we ride through the shallows of the clear lake waters is the only sound. This is nature, on a grand scale and at its raw and unspoiled best. A national general strike? Bugger.

It was nice to be in an area of a national park and almost have the entire place to ourselves. No, this is not us.

Return to Valparaiso, Begining of an End. We returned to Valparaiso the afternoon the day before we would load the vehicles into the container. This would give us a chance to unload all our gear that would fly home with us, and not have to rush to meet our Customs Agent the next morning. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. Valparaiso sits almost directly west of Mendoza. Just have to cross the Andes to get there.
