Santiago Chile to Vancouver BC
The journey has ended. Monday was a travel day working our way by bus and plane to Santiago Chile. Tuesday and Wednesday allowed us the opportunity to explore the city by using the double decker hop on/hop off bus and participate in one of the frequent demonstrations taking place over high post secondary tuition fees.
Departing late thursday I finally arrive home at noon on friday after being away 31 days.
Over the past month I have had the chance to meet interesting people, witness the human condition of a group of strangers (eleven individuals) coming together under the common interest of motorcycling and travel, observe the most stunning scenery on the planet, witness the joys and sufferings of indigenous locals, establish life long friendships, and break more traffic laws than one can accumulate in a lifetime. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat. Stay tuned for my next journey to South East Asia in the very near future. Until then ride safe.
