1) As I crossed a somewhat rickety suspension bridge:
Projected COD: Drowning in a 6" deep stream
2) When I suggested taking a trail off of the main road (which would have been a great shortcut!!)
Projected COD: Bears OR getting lost, wandering for days, and freezing to death
3) While taking the paved (but bear-free!) road:
Projected COD: Taxi drivers
And now, if we don't leave for dinner by 7:15 we will also die, projected cause of death unspecified. Luckily, this little bay side town specializes in King Crab, Patagonia lamb and some type of giant fish called "the pork of the sea"...so I guess if we HAVE to leave right now, I'm ok with it.
I mean, to avoid death and all.
;)
Man, you guys. King crab? Or as Gustavo used to say: "Keeng Craps??" I think we're having bocadillos de jamon. Sounds okay, but we all know the truth.
ReplyDeleteAnd really? COD by taxi? I don see no steenkin' CARS, much less a specific taxi threat.
And are we SURE Jim wasn't really thinking about snakes but thought bears would sound more threatening?
You guys can't skip even one day! I really look forward to my Gringos on the Ground daily installments.
Love you!
Not exactly snakes on my mind but the dreaded mythical fox-snake of Patagonia. Our fellow blogger over at www.patagoniamonsters.com writes all about it here http://patagoniamonsters.blogspot.com/2010/01/guruvilu-fox-snake-water-creature-full.html. It is said that he swallows men whole.
