OK, I´m still alive. Currently in Chui on the Brazil - Uruguay border (at the coast at the right of the map), which is a kind of tax-free shopping paradise. We should be in Montevideo but discovered Gisel´s passport had expired when we reached the border and were dumped off the bus. Looks like we´ll be here until Wednesday to sort that, and will then head to Argentina as fast as possible.

Notes on Social Forum and border-towns coming soon ... :-)
