Leave Brasil?

I discussed with Moraline last night the possibility of leaving Brasil for Argentina and Chile. Brasil has bored me, despite a good attitude and my desire to live here. But Brasil reminds me too much of Colombia, which I already experienced. I have already experienced the feeling of South America--the cities, the hotels, the manner of life. I am tired of the hotels. I want to camp. I want open space. Patagonia may be the only place where I can do this, then return to Brasil.

There is still the possibility I head North to the jungles. But still, this will mean hotel after hotel. The air in these hotels is not good for my lungs. I must close the windows at night due to mosquitoes. I did not want to copy Moraline's journey but the truth is that there are only so many routes in South American that a man can ride to free his soul and despite the popularity Patagonia is rare.

So it is most likely that upon my reaching the Argentinean border I will continue on. I will need to shoes and cycling shorts and a few other things, which I can get in Rosario for cheaper than I can find in Brasil, which has heavy taxes on all imported items, especially items related to cycling and running.

More rain this morning, although now it begins to lighten up.
