I just arrived back in Buenos Aires, back to my Paul, after a couple of beautiful weeks in Patagonia. I now sit in a local WiFi cafe trying to upload these photos because they speak volumes more about the country than I could write. About 48 hours after arriving we were all used up and became completely adjective deficient to describe what we were seeing. When the photos upload, I will post them and write properly about our experiences.
Until then, anyone looking for a shot of inspiration should follow this link: http://www.independent.com/opinion/2006/05/david_odom_19522006.html
I learned while away that my dear friend, a love, a savior, a saint had died suddenly, peacefully, surrounded by friends and fans. It is hard to reconcile sadness with peaceful death, with a life so filled with love. I will never, ever forget Dave. I will never forgive myself for not being there to stand in line outside of his hospital door to tell him that I loved him and how much his friendship meant to me. We should all hope to have children so pure of heart and to grow to adults so loving. Dave's voice was one of the last I heard on my phone before our plane left. I will never delete that message. The above link is to an absolutely beautiful tribute to a great human being. Whether you knew Dave or not, check it out...
More from Patagonia soon.
