I was on a trip this weekend and so I started reading your blogs. After about 3 hours of reading about your trip, I was finally caught up. Wonderful reading, keep up the good work. I felt like I was right their with you (and I wish I was). I don't know how you find the time to write but I'm glad that you do. I hope that you get to feeling better Lisa. You need to take better care of her Dean. :-) How else are you going to get through the border crossings. I hope that you both get back in time for the party in Jacksonville. Ride safe! Looking forward to more great stories. Lisa and Dean,

Hope all continues well without illnesses. I lived in Argentina from 1998-2000 and did lots of work in Chile. I strongly suggest that you visit the highest peak in Western Hemisphere: Aconcagua is the highest mountain in the Americas at 6,962 m (22,841 ft). It is located in the Andes mountain range, in the Argentine province of Mendoza. The summit is located about 5 kilometres from San Juan Province, 15 kilometres from the international border with Chile and about 50 miles northeast of the Chilean capital of Santiago. It lies 112 kilometres (70 mi) west by north of the city of Mendoza. Aconcagua is the highest peak in both the Western and Southern Hemispheres. It is one of the Seven Summits. Aconcagua is bounded by the Valle de las Vacas to the north and east and the Valle de los Horcones Inferior to the West and South. The mountain and its surroundings are part of the Aconcagua Provincial Park. The mountain has a number of glaciers. The largest glacier is the Ventisquero Horcones Inferior at about 10 km long which descends from the south face to about 3600m altitude near the Confluencia camp.[2] Two other large glacier systems are the Ventisquero de las Vacas Sur and Glaciar Este/Ventisquero Relinchos system at about 5 km long. However the most well-known is the north-eastern or Polish Glacier, a common route of ascent. The mountain was created by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American plate during the geologically recent Andean orogeny; however, it is not a volcano.[3] The origin of the name is contested; it is either from the Arauca Aconca-Hue, which refers to the Aconcagua River and means 'comes from the other side'. Also if you visit Argentina, suggest going to wine country around Mendoza and when in Chile checkout Vina del Mar and Valpariso, Chile. Beautiful country and terrain and plant life very similiar to our southern CA as the latitude down there is exactly the same as southern CA but southern latitudes(34 00south). Look forward to more great stories. Lisa and Dean, really enjoying your reports. Hope all continues well without illnesses. I lived in Argentina from 1998-2000 and did lots of work in Chile.
