        Made some progress over the last few days.

        Day one: home to Sucre:

        Road blocked for half an hour as a car race crossed the road.

        This bike is turning out out to be a fine traveler!

        IMG_2838.jpeg
        Houses used to be built of sun-dried mud blocks around here.

        The journey is the objective.

            Day two: Sucre to Villazon

            IMG_2848.jpeg
            The slit between the two ridges has a mid-size river flowing across.

            IMG_2849.jpeg
            This is the other, shaded side. The tunnel is less than 200 mts long. Place is called El Angosto, unsurprisingly…about 20 km km from Tupiza.

            The journey is the objective.

              Day three: Villazon - Bolivia to Cafayate - Argentina

              IMG_2852.jpeg
              Sits at 2800 mts and mornings are chilly around here.

              IMG_2853.jpeg
              IMG_2855.dng
              Loved the backlit effect on these woolly alpacas; probably my favorite pic so far.

              IMG_2864.jpeg
              At 3800 mts, 9 am is still quite cold when moving at 100 km/hr. sitting still in the sun warmed me up in about 10 minutes.

              IMG_2870.jpeg
              A cloud forest between Jujuy and Salta. Now I’m back down to 700 mts. A super dry year is making this usually lush vegetation look quite beaten down.

              image.jpeg
              Liked the monotone clay-colored backdrop with a bit of sky. Nearing wine country! Cafayate.

              The journey is the objective.

                            I’m well aware of how the majority of motorcycle enthusiasts and riders feel about this so while you’re certainly free to share your opinion here, I won’t be swayed. After all, much like our friend Mo, me do finks me own way…

                            I’ve got KT on board so now we just need to settle our moving and party debt. This will be perfect for city riding and parking/charging in my back yard…

                                @Matt pretty cool bike! I think smaller and lighter bikes are great to explore urban places and the city. You mostly don't need more.

                                    It may be blasphemy, but two wheels are always better than four and I’ll give you a pass…

                                    Being in the open air is better therapy than any drug or therapy. I feel better after 10 minutes riding than just about anything else…stressing just about 🙂

                                      Hey @Aetas ! Thoroughly enjoying these valles! When were you here?

                                      IMG_2891.jpeg
                                      Curvy mountain roads…perfect motorcycle enviro.

                                      IMG_2931.jpeg
                                      Exclusively 1st and 2nd gear ONLY on this 140 km super curvy gravel road through Aconquija national park.

                                      IMG_2951.jpeg
                                      Amazes me how this bromeliad manages to look so healthy and beautiful in such a dry, dusty, windy unforgiving environment.

                                      IMG_2953.jpeg
                                      A tasty and hearty ‘locro argentino’ stew at day’s end erases and compensates for any inconveniences endured at altitude. I guess the wine also helps.

                                      IMG_2966.jpeg
                                      Hot springs anybody??

                                      IMG_2986.jpeg
                                      Never before saw cactus growing as an epiphyte on a tree…. Had to take a pic.

                                      IMG_3002.jpeg
                                      I can’t avoid using these rocky monochrome backgrounds for my bike.

                                      IMG_3003.jpeg
                                      Beautiful late afternoon warm light in a typical Andean setting.

                                      5bb5976b-325c-4a53-b23f-a887506fcc0a.jpeg
                                      Turquoise colored lake with a bit of snow still around it in early spring. 4600 meters, 6 deg C, very windy. Tough ride there and back…Pissis lake.

                                      IMG_3033.jpeg
                                      One buddy destroyed his front tire that day…was quite a nightmare but eventually we managed to get him back safely.

                                      The journey is the objective.
