Santa Barbara to Buenos Aires, and then some...

a less dramatic motorcycle diary... I rode a Suzuki DL650 motorcycle from California to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Over the years I continue to ride, taking trips from Buenos Aires to Machu Picchu, Patagonia and Ushuaia Argentina, Chile along the southern spine of the Andes to the northern border, through the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, excursions throughout Argentina, and North to the Amazon region of Brazil. Most recently rode Chile's austral ruta 7. Nick Neuburger

Quito and surroundings

Read an nice article in the paper about a community about 3 hours south so I took a bus to check it out - the author must work for the tourism bureau.
I'm off early tomorrow to hike and mountain bike volcano Cotopaxi.
The bike? They lied, perhaps wednesday.
Seems the custom service is closed with the rest of the city until then. Buenos Aires is more active on Christmas day than Quito for the past several - they keep reminding me that it's Carnival - I remind them that Rio doesn't become a morgue...
