In transit…

Monday, August 8th, 2005

Hey hey, I´m alive! Just wanted to say that I´m in transit right now. Left the refugio this morn at 5am…now in Buenos Aires for a few hours…then going to hop on a bus for some 20 hours to Iguazu.

Had a great time in Sierra la Vigilancia..beautiful place, touched by very few foreigners…but…haven´t showered in 8 days (yuck), no heat, and it was damn cold! Looking forward to a hot shower (hopefully) in Iguazu…tomorrow!!! :p

Going to hit up Munchis (ice cream..yummmm!!!) before my bus departs.

Updates later, maybe in a day or so

Will probably be off line for 1 week…

Heading down to Sierra la Vigilancia tomorrow to go climbing for a week…will probably be off line during this time. Check back later!
