&#160;
I reached the target!!! Thank you very much for the support of everybody in this challenge.
The $ 10,000 is now part of the UNICEF program for Guatemala.
&#160;As per the school you saw in my pictures, “Canton de los encuentros” in Coatepeque I sent a personal donation to them of $ 1,000 and a picture book through my friend Saul Merida who is going to deliver the present on December 8th.
I printed few copies of the picture book and they are a testimony of my trip and also of my...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[



You can see now that the picture book prepared to complete my campaign of UNICEF it’s uploaded.
It was a challenge to select the pics among the almost 3700 that I took during the trip, I choose black and white because I think that sometimes color pics tends to be distractive and you can't see the objects or themes in depth...I like the final result.&#160;
I’m focus now doing the final selling’s and I believe I will have my target of fundraise (10,000 $cad) finished for November.
When done...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[&#160;
I’m back to “normal” and now focus in completing the fund raise.
Unicef Gala will be on October 17th&#160;and Unicef will auction the painting from Nicasio (that I brought from Argentina) together with one picture book. This will add to the money collected so far, and hopefully leave me closer to the goal.
The book is pretty much done but takes more time than you can imagine selecting 80 pics from about 3700 that I got and trying to get a consistent story out of it.
When you start adding...]]></description>

&#160;
The trip is over........after more than 18000 Km..... 46 days.... 670 liters of gasoline...and 13 countries; the bike and me will leave Argentina back to Canada today.&#160;&#160;
I never felt at risk or afraid, the main challenge I found was myself. Battling my own fears was the most difficult part of the trip....fear that most of the times was rooted in my ignorance or prejudices; I'm glad they didn't hold me back.

I want to thank to all the people that made my trip...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[&#160;I spent the last two days at my parents house in Necochea, a small town in the seaside 500 km south of Buenos Aires ; I grew up here with a close relationship with the sea. The beaches are wide and the grains of sand fine; a Poseidon statue overlooks the area.

&#160;
The dynamic and beauty of the sea is one of the things I miss the most, always different, the sea looks like alive.......

I decided to go and visit Nicasio Diaz Llanos, a local painter that lives close to the light...]]></description>

I left Santiago with a couple of additional pounds on me, and spent the night in Rosario with another cousin and his girlfriend. The trip has become cheaper as I'm eating for free the last days....I do not believe my parents will charge me either.....

I saw the signs of Siderca from the road.

Passing&#160;through Tucuman and Santiago it's a memory test, lot's of relatives, that I didn't see since many (many) years and theirs sons and daughters (that I never met) hugged and kissed me while we eating tons of typical foods. Dinner with the Mitre and lunch with the Werenitzky (or viceversa) is the standard.......there are so many new kids that I was lost, but Cristina Werenitzky promised she'll help me to identify names and positions in the family tree, now I have to find a...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[I'm surprise with the beauty of the Humauaca, yesterday we rode with my friend from Jujuy to Tilcara and Humauaca city, going inside of each town and looking into the detail of the places.

Houses are build of “adobe” a brick made off clay, sand and “paja” which are the leaves of a local plant. The construction is typical of dry areas and cheap but gives to the place an homogeneous color as it use the local soil as raw material and is solid and fresh.

&#160;I have ate and enjoy my time with them while waiting for Oscar Camara, a friend whose going to ride with me today (we'll go to Humauaca and Tilcara). Oscar together with Horacio (Bergero) were my GT's buddies as the three of us leave together for...]]></description>
