A Quick Hello From The Fam
Quinn's mother, father and brother are now in Argentina for the end of this trip. This is from Brad, aka. Pappy.
We just got an email from Quinn and Jeff. They are somewhere south of Rio Gallegos. Yesterday they had a shitty day with gale force winds and rain.
Jeff got a nice introduction to the bicycle touring. They pushed their bikes some thirty kilometers in the wind and rain. Jeffs´bike ¨Pinky¨is holding up. Pinky was purchase from a little old guy in Rio. for about $130. hope she makes it.
Mom and Pappa are basking in luxury in Rio and planning our flight out to Ushuaia this evening. We are staying at the Familia piatti B&B in Ushuaia.
The owners speek English. This is very nice being we only know sign language, of which Rose is getting quite good at. The locals love it.
When we met up with the Quinn he looked like several miles of rough rode. Lack of sleep and fight the Argentinian breeze has taken a toll on him. We had a couple beers and fed him good food so he seemed very eager to hit the road yesterday AM. jeff was very excited to joy him and by now may not be.
mom and I are getting the festivities planned for the finish line celebration in Ushuaia. There will be wine and much joy. Being here in Argentina makes Mom and I really appreciate the feat accomplished even more.
The roads, wind, customs, language barriers and everything else that goes along with it. He is truely an amazing man to have done this unsupported.
