My flight from Delhi to JFK was diverted to Newark due to visibility issues, now two hours later I have to shuttle over to JFK and attempt to get another flight home. Ah, airline drama. At least I am home sorta! My phone's internet is faster than anything in Asia and I had a sausage mcgriddle so I can't be too grumpy.
Today I begin what may become one of the most difficult tests of long term mental and physical endurance and strength I have ever undertaken: for most of its remaining 2500km through Patagonia, Ruta 40 is considered one of the most desolate highways in the world. Over half of the remaining road is gravel, sand, and dirt. The number of towns listed on a map once I pass Perito Moreno can be counted on one hand, and there are many stretches of hundreds of miles without provisions, fuel, or places to stay.
