Villa Gesell, Buenos Aires, Argentina - Journey of Ernesto "Che" Guevara: "The Motorcycle Diaries" (sitios de interés)

On January 6, 1952 Che and Alberto reach Villa Gesell in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Alberto and Che had already travelled 1,200 kilometers from Córdoba and were staying in Che's uncle's home. Che reflects on his journey thus far and the journey he's preparing for: "enjoying my uncle's hospitality in his home and reliving our first 1,200 kilometers-apparently the easiest, through they've already given us a healthy respect for distances. We have no idea whether or not we'll get there, but we do know the going will be hard - at least that's the impression we have at this stage. Alberto laughs at his minutely detailed plans for the trip, according to which we should be nearing the end when in reality we have only just begun." (35)

Che and Alberto also collect vegetables and tinned meat as provisions for their trip.
