We set off early in the morning and rode to a nearby petrol station. Argentinean petrol comes in a number of flavours and I filled up with 95 octane 'Super' while Larry chose the highest available; 97 octane.

Day 70: October 23, 2007 Teaching in San Juan I got up at 7:00 and went down for breakfast alone, letting Elena sleep in. When I returned to the room, she was awake and complained that her toe hurt.
