Yeah, sorry, I was a little busy riding up to Alaska to finish up the blog, but here I am. Two more posts about what's up next, and I'll be done (with this portion) I'll look forward to seeing you in Sept. Mom lives in WNC and she deserves a visit after worrying about me on this trip! Hey Mark,

Welcome back from YOUR awesome adventure. Yeah, sorry, I was a little busy riding up to Alaska to finish up the blog, but here I am. Two more posts about what’s up next, and I’ll be done (with this portion)

I’ll look forward to seeing you in Sept. Mom lives in WNC and she deserves a visit after worrying about me on this trip!

Good to see you and Edward in the Yukon too! I thought you had decided to live in Uruguay for a while there. What to do with my mornings now that your trip is over...??? All the best on your move and new life in Idaho. If you're ever back in Western North Carolina, look us up. If Edward ever needs a crash test dummy to beat the %$@* out of a Klim product then articulate a reasonable opinion, point him in my direction. I'm pretty hard on gear. Take care, Mark Hey Alisa,

I am sad to say I am already back in the States--Oregon at the moment--but still riding!! Thanks for the <em>medialunas </em>invite with your family--I loved <em>medialunas</em>! (They were best int he afternoon with cafe con leche!) I did NOT like riding in Buenos Aires...luckily I did not do too much of it. All the big cities make me crazy. Keep riding! ~Alisa Hola Mariana,

I ride a Harley Davidson and read about you through the Garage Girls newsletter. I really admire your courage to make such a long trip on your own. I would never ride my bike in Buenos Aires, I think traffic is crazy, so cheers to you! Are you staying in Buenos Aires for a couple of days? My parents live in San Isidro, 30 min. from downtown. If you need anything or if you wish to have some “mate con medialunas” you are welcome to come by their home (you have my email) Ride Safe! Mariana Dear Alisa,
