After 8 hours of driving on a route that is only about 300 miles, I very much appreciate the public roads in America......crossing "La Frontera" into argentina wasn't so bad but coming back into Chile we waited 2 hours in a line of cars only to park and wait in another line on foot for another hour. However, my mission was accomplished, I changed my visa status, drank and ate myself silly for ridiculously cheap and the route through the Andes is truly spectacular.All in all, I think that argentina is second to Italy for the most gorgeous people and the culture is reflective of the Italian influence, restaurants are full until about 1 or 2am and then off to the bars and discos for some dancing....Although Chile and Argentina are close on the map they are worlds away in culture and lifestyle, but after driving through the Andes I can see how this division maintains the separation between the two countries.
