The Patagonian Steppe.

In an effort to escape, Ostriches would run down the road in front of us.












An Ostrich.

Not sure if it's clear on this photo but they have surprisingly large ear holes.










Big sky, little bikes.













Big road, little Sarah.













It looks dry, but the wind blows weather across from the west incredibly quickly. Later this day we got caught in a terrential downpour of icy rain soaking us through.










A road maintenance depot and an old 'colectivo' was our home for the night.
