Life is nothing if not ironic and by that I mean now that GANNET2 is ready for the road I have been in bed recovering from a fever for two days. Today, Friday I seem to have peaked and I am on the recovery side of the coughing and spluttering sore throat side of this irritation. I spent Thursday in bed happy to let the fire go out when temperatures here in Uruguay have taken a wintery turn.
Which probably sounds like summer to an Alaskan but not to me. It is definitely time to go and I think today will be time to start the process of refilling our shelves and lockers board GANNET2.
We want to visit an Uruguayan winery, pass by the capital Montevideo and see the coastal town of Piriapolis a little further along the coast. Theres a national park in the hills along the border with Brazil and we’ll need to get Rusty his exit papers to go to Argentina. Then we want to drive north back to Paraguay which was 105 degrees the last time we were there and should be a bit warmer than freezing Uruguay.
But every journey starts with a first step which I hope we can be ready to do Sunday morning. Yesterday I wasn’t even feeling like driving to the supermarket which tells you how ill I felt. When one says “to good health” sometimes one means it.
