Making My Way Through Montevideo
/0 Comments/in South America, Travelogue, Uruguay /by allanPortion of Montevideo Skyline looking over Rio del Plata and toward the Atlantic Ocean. More than half the country’s population lives the historical capital city of Montevideo, which was founded by Spain in the late 1600’s after the Portuguese founded Colonia just a few hours southwest.

Goodbye Buenos Aires. Hello Uruguay!
/2 Comments/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue, Uruguay /by allanThe late night with the crew at Las Lilas pushed my departure date back by a day. But it’s getting cold here.

The people. Did I say the people? There’s not much not to like about Buenos Aires. In many ways this place seems like home. Argentina with its diversity, culture, beauty and […]
Don’t Bug Me When I’m Riding.
/0 Comments/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue /by allanIt was a late start when we all left Villa General Belgrano, and after leaving the boys back in Rio Cuarto I made the journey back toward Buenos Aires. Just a few days ago this rode looked a lot different as I swam through the incessant rain getting the longest and wettest shower perhaps since […]
