High: Three Weeks and Mountains

We´ve been touring around Argentina for a little under 3 weeks now, although it feels like its been a lot longer than that! In the past 19 days we´ve been up through the northern half of the country, and covered waterfalls to high altitude desert. We´ve got just under a month left in our trip and a fair bit of the country left to see. We´re headed south towards the Chilian Patagonia for some mountains and treking before returning to Argentina for glaciers and penguins. Given the large distances we have to travel, it will probably take our remaining month to make it back to Buenos Aires. Luckily for us travel hasn´t been that hard and our small amount of Spanish is serving us well.

I try and add a new phrase or word to my vocabulary everyday, but its never enough to fully understand. We spent a whole day very curious about signs reading ¨picnic sin fogones¨ at all the stops on our bike trip, until we looked up fogones in the dictionary at the hostel. It means firepit.

I´ve finally found some reasonably fast internet here in Bariloche and uploaded some photos of the past few days. Our boat trip yesterday was a disaster - long, boring and ugly! But we had an excellent lasagna last night and some gourmet chocolates to help us recover.
