seth from an update

it is raining in bariloche, where i arrived yesterday after a wonderful crossing from chile that took me over three lakes and over the andes mountains.  the weather was amazing for the lake crossing so i guess i can stomach a rainy day in bariloche; gives me a reason to spend the day hitting the famed chocolate shops in town.

below are some photos to enjoy from punta del diablo, uruguay and mendoza, argentina.  i will post pictures from chile and bariloche within the next few days.  hopefully i will also be able to upload video.  cross your fingers.

here is an interesting article about bariloche and its heritage that still hangs over the town.  there are some pretty repulsive quotes in the article.  here is a story from the new york times on the subject.

i prefer this blog to be apolitical but i do have to link this story about my former boss traveling to the same continent i am on at the moment.
