Más vale tarde que nunca

Today is the day for the (much delayed) Argentina post! Last October I packed all my things into a storage unit in Squamish and set off solo for South America. I spent three months in Buenos Aires and one month in Bariloche (Northern Patagonia).

Bariloche is a mountain town in Northern Patagonia. It is home to South America's largest ski resort, and is a place of great historical mystery and intrigue. I highly recommend going down the Wikipedia rabbit hole.

Far West 2024 Photo Drop

Part of the Far West 2024 feature.

A few days before I departed, I purchased a used FUJIFILM X-T10 camera to try to learn some photography basics and document the trip. The slower pace this afforded as I occasionally stopped to compose a scene was worth it alone.

Here are a few of my favourite photos from my three-week motorcycle adventure through the American west.

I'm in love with Guanajuato

Guanajuato is my favourite city in Mexico. The centro historico is built into a valley, and many of the roads are tunneled through the mountains that surround it. The city itself has been built and rebuilt upon its former self, with a subterranean level comprised of the haciendas that once lined the Guanajatu River.

My first thought when I got here was, why? Why tunnel through three kilometers of mountain to build a town here? The answer is silver. The area around Guanajuato accounted for more than two-thirds of the world’s silver production leading into the 19th century. The primary mine—La Valenciana—is still operational.

Guanajuato was also the site of the first battle of the Mexican War of Independence. You can still see the bullet holes in the Alhóndiga de Granaditas (grain exchange building next to the central mercado).

Guanajuato is about 4 to 5 hours by bus from Mexico City and well worth the trip. It’s also a very reasonable day trip (and beautiful drive) from San Miguele de Allende.

Note: I’ve edited this post. It was first posted on January 4, 2023 with only the leading image. When I first posted the picture, it was in the early days of ChatGPT and I was of course excited to try to generate some text with it. I did so with a short description of Guanajuato City as a caption, and with the benefit of hindsight I’m no longer comfortable polluting the internet with content I didn’t write myself. All of the photos beyond the first were published on March 23, 2024 and the text is my own.
