We made it to Montevideo this afternoon.. or morning depending which clock you are looking at. It is 6 hours ahead of Oregon time. We got into Santiago at 3ish am where we crashed (slept) in the airport for a few hrs. Our plane didnt take off till 10, and got into MV at 1 or so this afternoon, where we saw our second major Ocean of the day.
Upon a walk around the city, it seems like a quite likable place. Much different demographics here Vs Peru. More of a european lighter skinned crowd. We got a snack and a beer that led right into the late afternoon nap, which Im not convinced Vanessa will recover from.
For the good of the Capital Press and for the overall benefit of beef quality in Oregon, at the request of my uncle Mike, I am going to eat a similar cut of Steak in every town we grace throughout Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, and Chile. Strictly for the good of the beef eating world of course, I will take notes and reel off a list of rehearsed questions in Spanish.. All hopefuly starting tonight. Empese mi suerte.
Thats right. Paraguay might make lucky country number 7, as it is en route from Iguazu Falls to to Mendoza. We met a neat guy in Cusco who travelled with us to Lima. Hes from Paraguay, lives in New York and works for the UN. Super interesting job and life. He is going to be visiting his family in Asuncion and genuinely offered to take us in for a night and to show us around his home town.... so we might just take him up on the offer.
All for now

Hola Smax & the Vipper...
While I've been following your adventures on your blog from the jump, it wasn't until your email that i realized i could leave a post! Bueno...
First off, happy birthday to us dude. Sounds like you had a great one, and I was really moved by your reflection upon twenty eight rocking years. My January 2 was pretty awesome - we had a party at the house and then mobbed down to see the Devil Makes Three - Trainhopping, foot stomping, hell raising kind of music about whiskey and small towns and whiskey. It was a good birthday, and you were in my thoughts - visions of some sunrise hike to a mountain with latter day philosophical ponderings.
Anyway, I love you guys. It's been so fun to read about all your travels. Keep it up!
