Dakar 2013 to Art and Antique Travel Adventure around Argentina

 

 

 

 

 


 

 This ad is for " 2 or 3 other fellow travellers " for a travel adventure of a life time, DAKAR 2013, I?m organizing a unique travel adventure trip down here in South America for only Adventuress People!??.. up to 3 other travellers apart from myself, the idea is starting out in Buenos Aires and travelling towards Chile, following as close as possible the Dakar January 2013 Rally and at the same time seeing the Pampas, the Andes Mountains crossing over to Santiago de Chile and then we can either go south to the Big Island of Chiloe, back across to Argentina, 


Or we can travel Via Esquel, seeing and travelling on trains, crossing lakes and bays, on paved and unpaved roads, hunting antique tractors, buying art and antiques and sleeping in small towns and villages some times in top notch boutique hotels other time in down and out places????. the idea is to have a total adventure in places I have already travelled to and others that I?m not familiar with. All this for an adventure that could well turn out to be a drive of a life time, we would be travelling in a 4 wheel drive vehicle, 4WD this is a good on and off road vehicle?... so far the idea is still being worked on, so its subject of change, all I wanted to check out is if there are any possible candidates who would be willing to accompany me and at the same time we would or could be documenting the trip for deferent purposes. Anyway, I have worked out some kind of cost for the trip, it?s based on a daily rate per person, this doesn?t include any extra expenses but only the use of the vehicle (included running costs) and insurance, it would be US $250 per person per day of adventure, minimum days 7, calculated on a base of 3 passengers.If we start in January we can also follow he Dakar Rally 2013 Trail and from Chile not go south 

Also. so, ..... North to Bolivar!All other expenses; from trip down, to Buenos Aires and back home, from food lodging here and on the road and all person expenses all the way to medical costs if any, all , and each expense for each person, apart, are to be paid by each of the individuals doing the trip, and you can do this threw your local travel agent or any way you feel fit in doing it. There are some risks involved so its best only to do trip if you are in good health and to let me know of anything beforehand ....... .


By the way the Dahkar 2012 startedin Mar Del Plata this Year, so I am not sure where it will start next year, so plans witll change as the route will,.... .Please feel free to contact me and ask your question, or you can chat with me in our office in Buenos Aires, using Yahoo Instant Messenger ID ( artdealer_ar ) or MSN Messenger ID: ( bob-frassinetti ) ICQ ID ( 78541000 ).

Austin J40 Pedal Car for Peron
Topic: Toy Museum, Research Work

Austin J40 Pedal Car Argentina
About the Austin Pedal Car J40, .... Bob Frassinetti Austin pedal cars were made in England by Austin Motor Company Limited. Available models were the Junior Forty (J40) and the Pathfinder. The J40 Roadster was based on the 1948 A40 Devon and Dorset. The Pathfinder Special was based on the Jameison OHV 750 Austin Seven racing car of the late 1930's. From the sales brochure for the Austin J40 Pedal Car: "Austin J40 cars are made in a specially constructed factory at Bargoed in South Wales. Here, in good conditions with the guidance of an experienced rehabilitation officer and under the supervision of a doctor, disabled Welsh miners are able to find a new interest in life and do a job of work that is both useful and congenial. There are employment facilities at this factory for 250 men." The pedal car factory opened on July 5, 1949 and was called the Austin Junior Car Factory. It was actually paid for by Government funds and it was run on a not-for-profit basis and purely for the employment of the disabled coal miners. The factory had a floor area of 24,500 square feet and was tooled up by the Sheet Metal Planning Department. Production started of with the Pathfinder and it was planned to build 250 a week, but unfortunately this figure was never reached. After a year the Pathfinder was dropped and was replaced in 1950 by the J40. The cars were made from scrap off-cuttings of metal from the Longbridge Austin motor car factory and were built and painted the same way as the motor cars themselves. The J40 was a very well equipped toy of excellent quality and was probably the best pedal car on the market at the time. It featured real working headlights and horn, detachable wheels with Dunlop pneumatic tires, real like facia panel and leather cloth seating. It had an opening bonnet and boot and also a lot of good quality chrome, namely both bumpers, hub caps, grille, boot handle, and center bonnet moulding with the Flying A ornament. It was later dropped because of a change in the law. It was claimed people could injure themselves on the mounted bonnet badges if they rolled on to the front of a car. The J40 sold for 27 pounds plus 6 pounds added purchase tax, while the Pathfinder cost 20 pounds plus 5 pounds purchase tax. At the time the average working man would have to save 2 or 3 weeks full wages to buy a J40. The J40 was primarily intended for the American market but it also established its own export markets in Denmark and Canada. The Austin pedal cars eventually were to be found in homes around the world. The Austin pedal cars were used for many purposes. They were used to teach road safety to school children and appeared in many road safety films. Pedal cars were fitted to roundabouts at fairs. These cars had two steering wheels and did not have any pedals. Some were single-mounted on coin-operated rides. Some pedal cars were later converted to gas engine power. Some of the gas-powered cars had the bodies "stretched" to make room for taller drivers. There was a total production of 32,098 Austin J40 pedal cars. Production stopped in September 1971. The factory was later used to make parts for the 'A' Series motors. The Bargoed Plant closed down on April 30, 1999 - 'A' series rocker covers were still being produced alongside other small pressings for Rover Group products.

Mini Biography
Ernesto Guevara de la Serna was born to a middle-class family in Rosario, Santa Fe Province, Argentina, on June 14, 1928. Disgusted by the corrupt Argentine military dictatorship, Guevara became a dedicated Marxist while in his teens. As a student he vowed to devote his life to revolutionary causes, and in 1953 he received a medical degree from the University of Buenos Aires. He left Argentina later that year to take part in a Communist revolt in Guatemala. There he adopted his revolutionary nickname and nom de guerre of "Che", the local slang for "pal." When the revolution in Guatemala failed the following year, Che fled to Mexico where he was introduced to another Communist revolutionary in exile, Fidel Castro.

Charles Darwin as much in Argentina as in Chile,... this photo is of the Christ Church Cathedral, Falkland Island, South Atlantic,............Falkland Islands wolf-like canine Warrah pre-dates human occupation
Bones found on West Falkland in 2010 by a boy then aged thirteen, which were subsequently kept for a while in the bottom of his grandmother’s wardrobe, may have narrowed down the search for an answer to a mystery which puzzled Charles Darwin when he visited the Falkland Islands in 1837.

Unquillo, Córdoba Province, Argentina, Guido Buffo
UNQUILLO.- En uno de los bordes de Unquillo, en el paraje denominado Los Quebrachitos, se levanta una capilla única en su estilo, dedicada a la memoria de Leonor Allende, esposa de Guido Buffo, pintor, esteta y un hombre de ciencia.
La capilla Buffo, construida en la cima de una montaña de mediana altura, domina una zona de tupida vegetación, que está en medio de unas de las reservas más importantes de la provincia.
Un río serpentea a pocos metros de su entrada; las aguas parecen arrullar el ambiente. Como se sabe, las tardes cobran colores nuevos en la montaña; los atardeceres tienen un sonido particular que se cuela por la puerta de la capilla, extraña a la arquitectura que domina este tipo de construcciones.
Quizá porque Buffo era un hombre de espíritu inquieto o porque el dolor en algunas personas se vuelve creativo, lo cierto es que la capilla mortuoria dedicada a la memoria de su esposa Leonor es una estructura en la que se reúnen formas clásicas con otras vinculadas con una visión cercana al esoterismo.
Desde afuera, 35 escalones separan la entrada de una suerte de explanada hecha en la montaña. Cuatro columnas sostienen la cúspide. Tardó nueve años en construirse (1941-1950) y en sus vitrinas, Buffo decidió que se guardaran las pertenencias más queridas por la pareja.
En verdad, su entrada de madera en forma ojival que repite la cúpula y en el interior una densa capa de nubes que simula un firmamento hablan de una mano dirigida por la fantasía de encontrar una réplica del edén en el que sus seres queridos lo estarían esperando.
La forma ovoidal domina la escena; una cruz tallada en una especie de campanario, sin campana, se vuelve una señal clara del sincretismo de este investigador con, al parecer, espíritu de alquimista, que pintó con la técnica del mural, utilizada por los renacentistas italianos. Imágenes de su fallecida esposa como de su hija las muestran en una actitud apacible.
Su arquitectura está desarrollada a partir de la forma de los capullos de cardo santo; para su acústica, pensó en el sonido que se siente al invertir un caracol de mar, ya que según este investigador podría escucharse el interior de la tierra.
En su entrada, sobre la izquierda, grabó sobre la pared la Quinta Sinfonía de Beethoven y la oración de Jesús en el huerto, tomada de la pasión según San Mateo, hoy virtualmente desaparecidas por el paso del viento.
Sobre las paredes interiores hay una línea de pinturas unidas por sus títulos: "Elogio a Dios", "Elogio al sentimiento" y "Elogio al intelecto", es decir, Guido Buffo reunió en la capilla tres facetas de su personalidad, el amor a Dios, a su familia y a la razón. Tres formas casi de deidades, por la importancia atribuidas en el recinto.
En el "Elogio a Dios", Buffo tomó una visión alejada del antropomorfismo y muestra a la creación como una burbuja de la que se desprenden seres del mundo animal, del mundo vegetal y del mundo mineral. Junto con esta imagen que cubre todo un sector de la capilla, fragmentos de la Biblia, escritos de Leonor Allende y una explicación sobre su obra en sentido amplio.
Palas Atenea
En otro sector descansa su "Elogio al sentimiento", donde Buffo propone una visión celestial donde su esposa, al lado de Palas Atenea, diosa de la sabiduría, contempla a su hija dormida, cuyo sueño, además, es velado por un puñado de ángeles. Al pie de este mural está la cripta donde hoy los tres, Leonor, Eleonora y Guido Buffo descansan. "Elogio al intelecto" no fue terminado.
Buffo incursionó en diferentes disciplinas que plasmó en su capilla. Por ejemplo, hay un péndulo que hizo del recinto un observatorio sismográfico. En efecto, en 1945, instaló el primer péndulo de Foucault que convirtió el recinto en un centro que pudo predecir sismos con 48 y 72 horas de antelación. Mientras terminaba la capilla su estado de salud empeoró y dejó unas palabras de despedida: "Necesito mantenerme en un estado de paz espiritual y quietud mental? Insisto en mi llamado de atención para que otros científicos, jóvenes, no anquilosados, continúen este estudio".
Buffo había nacido en Italia, Trevisto, el 12 de marzo de 1885, estudió en París, Turín, Venecia y con sólo 17 años asistió a la instalación del péndulo de Foucault, en el Panteón Nacional, de París. Llegó a la Argentina en 1910 y se radicó en las sierras de Córdoba. Leonor Allende nació en Córdoba el 11 de abril de 1883, fue una de las primeras periodistas cordobesas y falleció el 24 de marzo de 1931, a causa de tuberculosis. Tuvieron una hija, Eleonora, nacida el 25 de junio de 1917 y fallecida el 6 de septiembre de 1941.
Siete kilómetros separa la Capilla Buffo del centro de Unquillo, una ciudad que tiene belleza y arte, no sólo en sus solares sino también en sus artistas.

Pinturas y poesía .- Aunque últimamente la localidad de Unquillo haya figurado en las portadas nacionales por ser el lugar de nacimiento del tenista David Nalbandian, lo cierto es que Unquillo tiene un historial largo de personalidades conocidas que llegaron allí. Quizás el que ha dejado una huella más profunda, además de Guido Buffo, fue el pintor Lineo Eneas Spilimbergo, en cuya casa funciona hoy un museo que guarda obras de Egidi

From, De Cusco a to Machu Picchu by train.Estación de Tren San Pedro The Freedom of Train Travel by German Sopena, Germán Rolando Sopeña (* 1946, Huinca Renancó, Córdoba - † 28 de abril de 2001, Roque Pérez, Provincia de Buenos Aires) fue un periodista y escritor argentino.
Mientras estudiaba Ciencias Políticas en la Universidad del Salvador, comenzó a ejercer sus primeras labores como periodista en publicaciones de la Editorial Abril. Tras obtener su licenciatura, partíó hacia Europa en donde se desempeñó como corresponsal de la citada editorial.
Radicado en París, obtuvo sus títulos de posgrado en el Instituto de Estudios Políticos de París y en la Universidad de la Sorbona. Apasionado del ferrocarril como era, realizó numerosos viajes en ese medio transporte, que años más tarde darían origen a su libro La libertad es un tren.
De regreso a la Argentina, ocupó funciones directivas en la revista Siete Días y fue jefe de redacción de la publicación Tiempo Argentino entre 1985 y 1986, tras lo cual ingresó al diario La Nación. Allí se desempeñó al frente de la sección de economía entre 1986 y 1992, y pronto se transformó en uno de los periodistas más reconocidos del diario. Tras ocupar los puestos de secretario de Redacción y prosecretario general de Redacción, en abril de 1999 recibió el nombramiento para hacerse cargo de la secretaría general de Redacción.
Además de desarrollar su labor periodística, Sopeña dedicó gran parte de su tiempo a la docencia. Enseñaba periodismo en la Universidad de Belgrano y recomendaba a sus alumnos desarrollar las seis virtudes ya propuestas por Italo Calvino: la levedad, la rapidez, la exactitud, la visibilidad, la multiplicidad y la consistencia.
Casado con Patricia Morgan, fue padre de dos hijas.
El 28 de abril de 2001, perdió la vida al estrellarse el avión Cessna en el que viajaba rumbo a la Patagonia. En el mismo accidente, fallecieron el entonces presidente del grupo Techint Agostino Rocca, el director de la Administración Nacional de Parques Nacionales José Luis Fonrouge y otras siete personas.
En el Congreso Nacional de Argentina hay un proyecto para que la Ruta Nacional 40 lleve el nombre de Sopeña, quien contribuyó en los últimos tiempos a la difusión y promoción de la Patagonia en general, y de esa vía de comunicación en particular.

Seeking by air and land Lighthouses in Argentina ....
Topic: Lighthouse Tour
About airplanes and lighthouse trips... Aviation is an activity of which Argentineans are very fond of. Specially if one takes into consideration not only the incredibly pleasant feeling of flying but at the same time the possibility of enjoying from an alternative view of terrific landscapes. In this matter, our country has very much to offer.Just a few days ago,
