August 31, 2005Salvador: Churchin' UpHave a people ever taken to completely to an invention as the Brazilians have taken to the Wonderbra? It is absolutely ubiquitous in this country – I have never in my life seen so much cleavage. The women here could...Read this update August 30, 2005Brasilia: Capital OffenseI knew that I wanted to leave Manaus and get to the city of Salvador, on the east coast of Brazil. What I didn’t know was how I was going to get there. I was looking for the cheapest option,...Read this update August 29, 2005Manaus: God's CountryWith all due respect to the Christian faith, this whole thing about closing everything down on a Sunday has gotta stop. Brazil, which I suppose is as Christian as anybody, has taken it to new heights. I was walking around...Read this update August 28, 2005The Amazon (Day Two and Beyond) : KickbackThe Amazon adventure continues. I believe we left off with me asleep in a hammock. If you are pressed for time, you can pretty much assume that is where I stayed for another few days – you wouldn’t be far...Read this update August 26, 2005Photos: Nazca & HuacachinaHere we have more Peruvian photos – probably the last of the bunch. The first are of the Nazca Lines, those crazy lines and shapes in the desert in southwestern Peru. The second bunch are just a few of Huacachina,...Read this update August 25, 2005Photos: Chile & Arequipa, PeruChile is no doubt a wonderous place, and the fact that I have two pictures from the entire country should in no way deter you from visiting. And taking photos. Don’t feel like you’ve seen the whole country! Don’t just...Read this update August 24, 2005The Amazon (Day One) : SwingersThe final thing to take care of on Wednesday morning, August 24th, before getting on the boat downriver into Brazil was to check out of Colombia. I wasn’t sure it was even necessary, as I had checked in on my...Read this update August 23, 2005Photos: Buenos AiresPhotos of Buenos Aires. That feels like forever ago at this point – I’m on my third country since then on this whirlwind tour. We spent a week or so there – these photos are all taken during the day,...Read this update Leticia: Killing Time, AnimalsYou might notice that the category of this entry and the previous one is listed as Colombia. In an earlier entry on Chile, I shared with you, my close circle of trusted friends, my deep-seeded unease at claiming to have...Read this update August 20, 2005Leticia: The Final FrontierMy voyage on the Amazon began, as all voyages should, at the crack of dawn. Actually, that’s not even right – crack of dawn implies there was daylight. There was no daylight when I woke up because it was obscenely...Read this update August 19, 2005Huacachina to Iquitos: Desert to JungleThe town of Ica is located about two hours north of Nazca on the Pan-American Highway on the south coast of Peru. I was hoping to get there as quickly as possible in the late morning on August 16th, and...Read this update August 15, 2005Nazca: Terra FirmaI had heard good things about Arequipa, the main town on the backpacker route in the south west of Peru. My friends who visited had said it was an attractive town, filled with colonial architecture, nice churches, etc., but mostly...Read this update August 11, 2005Iquique: SeasonsI found myself in the airport in Santiago, Chile, the afternoon of August 9th, thinking about how much I had deviated from my original plan in South America. I had intended on traveling only to Ecuador, Peru, and up to...Read this update August 09, 2005Photos: MendozaThe last photos of Bolivia and the first photos of Argentina, all wrapped up in a nice little package right here. It covers a few different times and places, so you might want to take a moment now to draw...Read this update August 08, 2005Buenos Aires: 'Til I DieIt was a Saturday in Buenos Aires, August 6th, and that should have been cause for excitement. We had been mapping out our days in Argentina so that we would be sure to be in the big city on a...Read this update August 05, 2005Buenos Aires: EvolutionWe had one more day in the beautiful city of Mendoza before getting one of those swank Argentinean buses bound for the capital, Buenos Aires, the evening of August 2nd. We were facing a fourteen hour bus ride, and yet...Read this update August 04, 2005Photos: Salt Flats, BoliviaThe amazing Salar de Uyuni. Most pictures I take are, I admit, nothing special. Such is the case here. However, it would be difficult to get a sense of this place from words alone. At least from my words alone...Read this update August 01, 2005Mendoza: Falling DownWe were up at 6.30 a.m. on July 30th, just a couple of hours after going to bed. None of us were particularly happy about this, but the bus down to the ski resort of Los Penitentes was scheduled to...Read this update |
