Day 24

Today I had a pretty easy day, only 70 km to a resort town called Puerto Madryn. It is know for whale watching but unfortunately it isn´t the right season now. It rained this morning and there was some fog on the road so I pulled out my head lamp and set it to strobe and put it on the back of my bike. There was a fairly strong head wind today but I was only on the road about 4 hours so it didn´t last too long. There was some contruction on the road today. They were were expanding the highway to 4 lanes from 2. They had just paved the 2 new lanes but aparently had not opened them to the public yet. I hopped a baracade and for about 15 miles had 2 full lanes of newly paved road all to myself. It was nice not having to worry about traffic. A trucker pulled over in front of me earlier in the day and offered to give me a ride. I kindly declined.
