Hola Amigos!




We are living it up in El Chalten, Argentina (still in Patagonia!)




We have been playing in the mountains again...! We spent 2 nights/ 3 days up in Los Glacieres Natl. Park, with up-close and personal views of Mt. Fitz Roy, Grande and Piedras Blancas Glaciers, and Cerro Torre.








We also were able to visit Perito Merino Glacier nearer to El Calafate, Argentina, where we went out in a ferry to get a quite closer look at the beautiful mass of ice! That kept breaking up and landing in the water, sending the boat in crazy, wavey upheaval! It was so cool! What makes Perito so unique is that it is one of a few glaciers in the world that are still advancing, instead of receding in size like most others.
We had been staying the last 2 nights with Flora, a lovely lady who owns an El Refugio in town, who we enjoyed spending time with last night. She even shared her Asado (grilled lamb!) with us - a Patagonian speciality. Very lovely lady!
We will be heading to Buenos Aires soon, but for now we are enjoying the little town of El Chalten!
Ciao! Buenos Noches.
