We are heading into Autumn here in Argentina. Mornings are cold and crisp but the afternoons are still warm. Soon we will be into our first South American Winter. 2 of these pictures are from the backyard and the other is from 45 minutes south of us driving along the Cordon de Plata.

Hola Chile!

Playing at the beach at Vina Del Mar

Home Again.....

Hey Family and Friends! We are home again after a week of travel! While Randy and the kids went off to vacation on the beaches of Vina Del Mar in Chile, I was visiting the U.S. to retrieve our winter clothing and the very much missed road bikes! (O.K. Only I was really missing the road bike but Randy has benefited).... Let me just use this blog to say "Thank You" to Sandra for a place to crash, a car to use to gather endless things, and many yummy meals that I am, to this day, busy working off! Thank goodness I have the bike now...and the mountains to ride in. Thank you Dad-Ron, for all of your help with storage! Thanks Mom & Dad for taking such good care of the bikes! To all whom I had the pleasure of seeing on my whirlwind trip - You made it fun and exhausting and I hope my liver recovers soon.....

In Vina Del Mar, Chile, Randy and the kids enjoyed sunny days at the beach, vegetarian fare, and nice hotels without me. They have now been to seven different countries and are looking forward to their next passport stamp!

Routine, as we know it, has begun again and it is officially fall here with leaves on the ground, chilly nights and beautiful sunny days...
