Distance Traveled!

Why hello friends! I hope this post finds you all doing well. I'm currently in Córdoba, Argentina for the weekend (you know, when I don't have classes Mondays or Fridays it seems to facilitate the traveling process somewhat!). I was thinking (because I myself was curious) how far have I traveled in this trip since I left the US? Well, if you were curious too, here's your answer. I "ran some numbers" and got a pretty good estimate. Feast your eyes on the data!

South American Distance Traveled:
From the dates July 11 to August 18

Dburg->St.Louis->Miami->BsAs 11/07 5806
BsAs->Asunción 13/07 628
Asunción->CDE 18/07 217
Iguazú->BsAs 21/07 654
BsAs->Montevideo 23/07 412
Montevideo->Porto Alegre 24/07 442
Porto Alegre->Florianópolis 27/07 234
Florianópolis->Curitiba 30/07 156
Curitiba->Rio de Janeiro 30/07 417
Rio de Janeiro->São Paulo 3/08 220
São Paulo->BsAs (thru Montevideo) 06/08 1106
BsAs->Santiago 07/08 702
Santiago->Valparaíso 10/08 65
Valparaíso->Santiago 14/08 65
Santiago->BsAs 18/08 702

TOTAL = 11,826

Or, if you like to know what the miles really mean, here are some distances:

Buenos Aires->Beijing, China
Nashville->Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (+2,000 miles)
Philadelphis->Jakarta, Indonesia (+1,750 miles)
Quito, Ecuador->Bankok, Thailand

So yeah, I've traveled a few miles on this adventure :p Thanks for reading ~~ Benjamín
