Hello,
I hope this email finds you all well.
I wanted to let you all know that I am doing well.
This is the first Internet access that I could find
since leaving Tarija.
I do know that the banking system in Argentina has
collapsed. I heard the story on the BBC a day after I
entered Argentina. So far it has only been a nuisance.
I will find out if I can withdraw funds in Corrientes
on Monday. If I can not I have enough cash to make it
to Uruguay.
Argentina has been very different than I expected.
Northern Argentina is a Third World country. The
region also has the most amazingly friendly people
that I could ever imagine. A truck driver that gave me
a ride when he found me mired in the mud housed, fed
and entertained me for the next three days. These
people are unbelievable. All this kindness as their
economy collapses around them.
More details when I arrive In Corrientes in 3 days.
I miss you all,
Dennis
