... alih.<br><br>Como era um refugio de neve, tinham fogo e me deram um mate. Claro, tinha que ser, na cuia com bomba. Assim como aconteceu com a agua no Domingo, nao pude recursar e bebi alguns goles.

... around the world and although we will only spend a couple day here, a few minutes of time will be more than I ever expected.  <br><br>We depart of Ushuaia early and after only a couple hours of sleep.  We are both sick and feel horrible.  We sleep on the flight taking lots of medication.  We stop into a oil town Rio Gallegos or something like that and pick up people from this primarily petro section of the country. <br><br>The ...

... 4 course nosh up that puts some fire back in the belly. Temperatures rise in the afternoon - at 5PM it is 36 degrees backed up by a hot head wind, so all our jacket vents are open, desperately trying to cool the steaming contents. At one point I think I see a thick heat haze up ahead and cannot make out Pierpaolo just 50 metres ahead, but a gust shows the "haze" as topsoil being discarded from the land like crumbs shaken from a giant tablecloth.
