Team Agua Con Gas Witnesses World Cup Victory in Argentina

Good evening good morning where ever you are in the world

This is lead guide Don Nguyen. I hope you all had a great weekend. Sorry for the late post as you know our team was in the midst of being part of history as Argentina won the World Cup and we were in the heart of Argentina as it happened. We had to delay our gear check an hour to watch the victory.

Today we packed up our gear and headed to the Army base at Puente del Inca. That’s right folks we are staying in an army base hotel. There’s armed sentries and our waiters are in khaki and kinky boots.

We had a fine dinner and decided our team name, it is Agua-con-gas. That is water without the bubbles. The team tucked into our army bunks and tomorrow we will begin our trek tomorrow.

This is Don Nguyen of Agua-con-gas, signing out.
