Pisco Sour tastes wonderful and that´s the main problem with it. It is evil. We drank a bottle of it last night to celebrate arriving in Ovalle, finally off of Route 5. I have spent all day throwing up. On the plus side we found some absolutely fantastic reds and a desert wine that would hold it own with Sauternes. Will post a note with full details in future.
Off to Hurtado tomorrow and Vicuna the day after. We´ll take a rest day there to acclimate before crossing Agua Negra.

In any event, that's our way of showing moral support for your insanity, bullishness, and hedonism. For what it is worth, we have convinced ourselves that our pisco sours are the best in this hemisphere, if not the world. Tell that to the Chileans. Viva la pisco!

Fool...
What about the beer? It is nice to see that you are improving the reputation of Americans everywhere as you vomit your way through South America. Keep up the good work! Should I send you a NASCAR hat?
I'll open a bottle of Sauternes tonight just to check.
