Everyone enjoyed breakfast! The team ate all of the remaining fruit, honey and cheese as these things are not allowed to be brought into Argentina.

Todos disfrutan del desayuno! El equipo se comió toda la comida que tenían, pues no podían llevárselo a Argentina.

Today we said goodbye to Salil, Vettri and Nivedak who had been in four South American countries with a Peace Torch prior to coming to Chile. They made the start of this Peace Run more smooth and enjoyable. Thank you very much! Adios, amigos!

The magnificent Andes are spectacular and beautiful. They stretch out for miles and miles peaking into the sky in different colors and shapes.
