Patagonia

In Dec., 1998 I spent four month with some friends touring the southern end of South America — Patagonia — by bicycle. The pace of travel on a bike allows you to spend enough time in an area to connect with it, but still be able to get from point A to point B in decent time.

Few cars ventured on the main dirt (although it is now being paved) road, the Carretera Austral, so when I pulled into a town on a bike, I got plenty of attention. When Amy and Chip, riding a tandem, pulled in you'd think the circus had come town!
