From Anchorage to Ushuaia by Bike

As you have heard from the international news, there was a massive earthquake in Chile late Friday night. We were in Argentina, far from the centre of the quake.

We have heard from Heather and Vanina and her family who are around Vina del Mar and Valparaiso: the damage is less there than it is further south. We haven’t heard yet from Seth and Kirsten, the couple we stayed with when we were in Santiago. We hope that they are well, as well as their friends and family.

We have seen that there is a storm raging across France right now. We are thinking of all those who are currently facing the whims of the planet.

For our part, we are now in Buenos Aires, where it is hot and humid. There is a big temperature difference between here and Terre del Fuego and we are having a little of trouble adjusting.

We are organizing our tour for the next couple of weeks. On the program: Jesuit Missions, Iguazu Falls, southern Brazil including Florianapolis, and Uruguay. Of course this trip will be outside the scope of the Association Planète Durable et Solidaire.

Just because we have reached Ushuaia doesn’t mean that we will stop updating the site. Our adventures continue, including bus rides, microfinance in Buenos Aires and our return to France by bike from Madrid. We will share our stories with you as often as we can, just like we have been doing for the past 20 months.
