Ride along with The Flying Gringo as he travels the world on his motorcycle, recumbent bicycle, bus and the occasional dogcart. Follow his adventures as he dodges donkeys, trucks, and bugs the size of a baby's head. You'll see some of the most desolate and destroyed places this side of the world. And you'll also enjoy the splendor of some of the most beautiful, from the coral reefs of Honduras, to Andean mountain passes, to the lush Amazon basin (Except that he got thrown out of Brazil.)
Santiago, Chile
Wouldn't it be great if the functions of government were privatized? Especially the post office. Can you imagine how much cheaper and more efficient the private sector could provide essential services? Well, that's how it is in Chile. So this is your mail, being sorted in the park by the guy who is going to bring it to your house. And if something's missing? It's probably still in the park.
The weather has been absolutely spectacular, and I have been riding across Santiago on my BikeE recumbent bicycle, in preparation for my epic ride through Uruguay the month of February. I have started a blog where I will be posting trip reports. The site is http://bentgringo.blogspot.com
