Day 90

47,502 – 48,036    534  Miles (25,336 Miles Overall)

Cordoba, Argentina – Resistencia, Argentina

Back on the road in the heat I was really missing the days of climbing over huge mountains dealing with some snow and cold weather. The weather was so hot here I wasn’t sure if I should ride with my shield open or closed because it was so damn hot. I had a long long day of riding and I was glad to finally get to Resistencia where I could relax. I was getting closer to Brazil and couldn’t wait for it. This was some of the most boring and lame riding I have ever done in my life. I’m pretty much making a 2500 mile detour to see a god damn waterfall. This thing better be worth it.

I pulled into the city and got a hotel room. I unpacked and went up on the roof to lay down by the pool and cool off as I was sweating profusely doing 90 mph the whole way here all day long.

I went for a walk but there was nothing open because it was a Sunday. I barely had any options to find food for myself and just walking in the sun was burning my skin. I met up with Fabio and his son who was back home from Tampa for a few weeks for Christmas break. They took me out to a nice little dinner and I met Fabio’s wife as well. She didn’t speak much English and neither did Fabio but I understood what they were saying a little bit. HIs son did all the translating, which was nice.

It was cool to hang out with a young person who is going to college in Tampa. It was refreshing. I called it a night pretty early and was planning to hit the road super early to get to Brazil at a decent time tomorrow.
