240 miles

(Valerie) we've had many adventures in a short time! customs turned into a 100 mile paper chase but it made for some terrific sightseeing. the lodging has been better than expected and as the food is concerned{ i have probably put on ten pounds- in otherwords, fantastic luck getting great meals so far. we finally broke the bike out yesterday afternoon and after a night of adam's amazingly regimented packing we actually managed to get all of our stuff on board! we set out this morning and covered 240 miles., plaññing to slow it down a bit once we hit patagonia...

(adam) Once we cleared the customs hurdles and found our way to the warehouse, we found the bike (which val has named "Bee") within minutes. The crate was in perfect condition. Amazingly, and to my complete and utter astonishment, the guys at the warehouse let us tear the crate to pieces right where it lay. The guys there even helped us out. They even let us leave the substantial mess for them to clean up. The total bill for the bikes storage and transportation in chile was $15 US. Ha! Customs was free (no import duties)

much love... adam and val
