What am I thinking now...
It's almost 9PM now and supposedly we should have been in Bogota by now, but unfortunately there was 1 lane working on one of the many bridges leading to Bogota, we were literally stuck on the bus for the past 2.5 hours. One fortunate part is that there was a movie on so that helped kill the time.
The original 9 hour bus trip is turning into about 14 hours as we are stopped once again waiting for some oncoming traffic (we left at 9:30AM). Funny how we used to take 18 and 30 hour buses back down in the Patagonia but now the patience is wearing thin. We opted against taking a plane this time in order to enjoy the landscape and unfortunately now that its dark we can't see a thing, plus the 2.5 hours waiting in one place was not the most pleasant!!
So, this is the best time to write, since the past 2 weeks had been so full and time to write was literally non existant.
Once again, exactly 5 month ago today we left NYC. I remember how good that felt knowing that we were going to take a loop around South America seeing, hearing and feeling so many new things. Let's not forget that Paula and I were married on the trip which was the best way to do it, seriously! It really has been one of the times I am most proud and appreciative of. From taking our vows to traversing skyscraper-like Amazonian trees or treking monstrous Patagonian glaciers or hiking the southern most city of the World or maybe biking the San Pedro Atacama desert trails we have been able to grow and make our relationship stronger than I could have ever imagined. I absolutely love and would do anything for this incredible woman that is now curled up in fetal position next to me on this cramped and perpetually stalled bus!
To all the people that we have met on this trip, THANK YOU for everything that we shared, learned, and laughed together. I know that if it weren't for C4 and SC300, we would have abandoned the mission sooner;-))(not to worry the cat fell off the table but is still in 59 pieces!!)
To our amazing friends Lissette and Camilo in Medellin, you guys are the bomb! It's going to be hard to goto our tiny 1 bedroom in NYC after being in your place! Gracias por todo!
I want to name all of the people from Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Salta, La Paz, Rio, Santarem, Leticia, Santa Marta, Cartagena, Bogota, San Pedro Atacama, Belo Horizonte, and Jerricoacoara that helped us spend such a great time down here and put up pictures of all of you....soon...
