Butch and Sundance
By David. Filed in Chile |As my trip into Chile came to an end, I headed over the border back into Argentina and to the north.
My cough was getting worse, so pulled over a small town and found what turned out to be a very nice fishing lodge. The owner was 51 and just retired from Air France. He had been out driving, found this lodge, and 10 months ago took it over.
It’s around 15 kilometers south of where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid hid out. I could understand why they chose the location because it feels extremely remote. But even while feeling remote, I had my laptop out was using the owner’s WiFi, so things have changed since those days.
Here’s a picture of the owner’s two horse that wander in the backyard. After I got down with my walk, one of them ambled by window.

Hi, David! Just a note to let you know that I’m still reading…and still very much enjoying…your blog! The jealousy meter is at about 110%.
