Greetings from Uruguay!
Tour is over and i am once again wondering the globe solo. Once we left Ushuaia, we only stopped once on the way back up to Buenos Aires. Our driver was in a rush to get home early to a friends wedding, so unfortunately for us, that meant waking us up at 5 am for 15 hour drive days and camping by the side of the road. But by the middle of the first drive day, it warmed up enough in the truck to layer down to short sleeves. And by the second day, we were able to

January 20th 2007 - Korky: Civilization, nice....

Tana, Glad you finally got off the dirt/mud/rock roads and on some pavement. Any Starbucks in the civilized world? :-) I would guess what your epiphany was, but I can't guess worth a damn! ;-) Have a good rest of your trip!!!!! Your son misses you. Korky

January 20th 2007 - monster: um...

Would the correct answer be "a photographer, doofus"??? Or "professional Crazy Cat Lady"? (Though you can't have that one--that's MY job.) If it's neither of the above I'm guessing "travel writer" or "full-time cave-dwelling Frappucino-guzzling hermit". No one ever said I was decisive. :)

January 23rd 2007 - monster, again: Well???

So are you gonna tell us or WHAT???????? :) jeeeeez...

January 24th 2007 - Korky: What the Heck?

Tana, SO, can you give us your occupational direction?..... What's up w/ so many lame people who don't comment on your blog? Thanks for adding all the extra pics here. :-) Be well. Korky

Hi Tan, Well, no wonder I haven't seen a blog for some time! I just read your last two (this one and the next one) and I'm impressed, as usual. Some of your pictures are absolutely breathtaking! So what are you using for a camera if your camera can't be fixed (damn monkey!)? I sure hope you have enough pixels to blow up some of your pics to coffee table book size. Your are seeing so many things that I would really enjoy seeing in person and I thank you for sharing them with us all. Don't even think about stopping the blog! I'll save the rest of my comments for your next blog. Good grief, I thought you were kidding about hang gliding over Rio! Now I am really envious! Be safe. Love you, Dad

I started to comment on this blog and got cut off. If you get half of a comment, you know what happened. I think I missed three of your blogs-the one before this and the one after. I'm commenting on each of them so you don't think we haven't read and appreciated what you wrote! Please send me an email when you post the next blog. What is in the Matte drink, by the way? Is it a narcotic? Your pics are amazing! Be safe- Love, Dad

February 9th 2007 - Holly: Career?

hi there, Another wonderful entry. Thanks for sharing. My first thought was travel writer and photographer, but you could do many, many things and be happy so I'll just wait (impatiently, so don't make us wait too long!) for your answer! Enjoy those beaches..... love, h.

June 22nd 2007 - jess: Great Travels...
