We reached the end of the Panamerican Highway today, at the southern end of Isla Chiloé.  Tomorrow we’ll take a boat back to the mainland and continue cycling south on the Carretera Austral.  I put my bike on a bus for the first time ever; going back to Castro on the stretch of road we had just spent the day cycling.  The boat from Quellón sails at night from midnight to five am and the boat from Castro sails during the day; so we’ll be better able to enjoy the cruise from Castro.  It is important to me to bike every stretch of the road.  Even though I’m not setting any records, I don’t want an asterisk added to my journey.  Like some athletes who have an asterisk to their record (* drug abuser) I don’t want an asterisk (* a bus user).
