Ghetto Rigs

Yeah, so Neal and I have been on the go for the past week without too much time to post photos or blog. I´ll probably be able to get a bit updated while I spend eternity (or about 24 hours) in transit from Santiago to Atlanta on Friday. Anyways, we´re spending our first day in La Serena after a few days in Valparaiso. After finding a very dreary atmosphere in northern Patagonia (read as the rivers were too friggin´ big for us to ford and swarms of volcano refugees were impeding travel), we flew back to Santiago and bussed to the beach. Cutting our losses down south was one of our better ideas so far. Today we´re renting some ancient Giant hard-tails to ride from Vicuna up the Valle Elqui and into the heart of Norte Chico and Pisco country. Hopefully we can find a place to crash and then ride back tomorrow. All is well, but we need some adventure after gorging on seafood and drinking copious amounts of wine and Pisco Sour. Maybe I´ll get my chance to practice hitch-hiking in Chile after all:)

Ciao,
Hunter
PS Dancing in Chile is an endurance sport on par with adventure racing.
