Another good day
Today as per usual was another magnificent day on the roads of Argentina. Our hotel in Malagure was more like a old ghost set of cells from the 1920s. There was next to no lighting along the corridors and everything was simply painted black or in old ...

snow fashion

Sun on Mars
Marte means Mars in Spanish. Someone knew what they were talking about when they named the teetering, nearly vertical lift that ascends to the crown of the Las Leñas ski resort. The red rocky peak resembles how I would picture Mars after an imported ...
check up
On my way out of Las Leñas, I made a quick detour to check up on a new friend. Julie had a scary tumble on Wednesday, and she's recovering in the Malargüe hospital. I wasn't with her when it happened, but the way she described her slide down the peak ...
Mallit mäessä
