Wrapping Up Argentina
November 14, 2008 · 4 Comments
We’re back in Buenos Aires after more driving than we can believe. The car was the right choice for our visit, but we surely will choose a different means of transportation if we are fortunate enough to come back again in the future. After all, how much of this can we take?….. Today and tomorrow will involve wrapping things up; packing, returning the rental car, and doing whatever else we feel compelled to do before leaving Argentina. We are staying again with Birgit, Claus and Moritz which is such a great... [Read the full story]

More Argentina

We are now in Bariloche, still in the mountains of Argentina, but now further north in the part of Patagonia known as the lakes region. Yesterday (Friday 11/7) was quite a rainy day and Jack had his first bout of sickness since we started our trip almost three months ago. Don’t know what he ate or drank that caused the vomiting for most of the day, but he was feeling much better as he went to bed. This morning’s weather looks to be much clearer as the rising sun can be seen coloring the few clouds in the sky. It... [Read the full story]

Glacier Perito Moreno: Way colder than the coast
When I heard that we were going to see a glacier I was thinking, “cool, a glacier, I’ve never seen one before, I bet it’s huge!” Apparently I had no idea how huge. After driving 45 minutes on a straight but thankfully paved road that turned into a curvy and then dirt-curvy road we got our first views of the glacier. We went to the main touristy area with all of the miradors and short little walks. They had recently built a new walkway that was nice. At the mirador itself the... [Read more]

The Jungle
(Here is Eliot’s first blog entry, about our time in the jungle back in Ecuador. Told by Eliot, typed by John.) Blowguns If you want to save money, buy a blowgun and hunt for dinner. (Even though you won’t catch anything, ha, ha!) We were in Runa Wasi in Ecuador and we were trying blowguns out and our goal was to hit a piece of foam on a stick. Everybody tried to hit it, except they couldn’t, and then our guide tried it and he hit it. Fishing Also, we went fishing and instead of using... [Read more]
