Well, "all good things...", our joint journey is over and considering the dimensions of Argentina (top to bottom is the equivalent of London to Athens), "we 'aven't 'alf covered some ground!" It's been like 5 different countries with such noticable changes in climate, landscape, culture, flora/fauna, people and activities.
But the one common denominator throughout has been the people - wonderful, kind, open and friendly - we never saw any ugliness or dispute. The Argentinians are gracious, curious and really helpful - they love to have a laugh, too. In spite of the savage blows and inequity they've suffered at the hands of tawdry and corrupt governments, they're surprisingly optimistic and courageous. So it's "don't cry for me our Anita", (note the huge weight loss in a month - trousers now a lot looser!), Fi stays another 3 weeks (timing return with the blooming of the daffodils) and well, for now, it's over and out.
