Update Day 6, Part 2

January 16, 2008

After finishing my updates Mike and I walked around a little bit and then decided to have dinner. While we were ordering we met a couple that we had met earlier in the day. When we arrived at the ruins we saw another motorcycle in the lot. As we were getting ready to leave the man and woman returned and we struck up a conversation. Turns out that Ian and Carolyn are from New South Whales Australia and have been traveling since early August. They started by shipping their bike to Seattle and rode up to Alaska taking almost the same route I did last year. Since then they have been slowly working their way South and will end the trip a little bit early in Panama next month. They did have plans for Tierra Del Fuego at the tip of Argentina but have run out of time. The worst part is they had been in the rain almost the entire time. Anyway we had a nice dinner with them, exchanged info and went our separate ways.
