South America |
November 3 - 20, 2005 |
I joined Gordon, Trina, Gevan and Daniel (aka the Union Member) to go to South America. Four of them first went to
Rio de Janiero, Brazil. And I met up with them at Montevideo, Uruguay. I spent 1 day at Sao Paulo, Brazil, 3½ days
in Uruguay, then ½ day at Buenos Ariess, travelled to Iguazu Falls for 3 days, and back to Buenos Aries for 4 days.
I spent my last 3 days in South America in Salta, Argentina.
Memorable moments include seeing policemen fully armed with bulletproof vest patrolling Sao Paulo city, immaculate
coastal countryside of Uruguay, 14 lanes of traffic at downtown Buenos Aries, the almighty Iguazu Falls, our unofficial
entry to Paraguay, and the beautiful Valle Encantado (Enchanted Valley) in Salta, Argentina.

Buenos Aries, Argentina

12 million people live in this city. I love the way they drive, the way they have their coffee. I love the
way they dress, the way they enjoy their nightlife.

Salta is located in the Northwest of Argentina, access to the Andes. I drove in the countryside for 3 days, picked
up a few hitchhikers, passed through the steep hilly valleys.
