Day 12: Drive from Los Alerces Nat'l Park to Villa La Angostura, El Faro, Sunday, December 14th It's 8 AM and Harvey wakes me up and suggests that I put some clothes on and go out to take those photos of the big tree by the lake this morning. I look out the picture windows and see that the sun is already up and the light has already created that dappled look on the tree trunk, rather than the soft morning light that looks so beautiful in a photograph. I have overslept and it is too late! Sinc...
Villa La Angostura, Argentina journeyerDay 13: Hike to Cascada Inacayal, Villa La Angostura, El Faro Monday, December 15th We may be in Argentina, but we wake up with a bit of Miami "manana" attitude. Each day, we seem to be slipping into a routine of getting up a bit later! During last night, I woke up a few times and listened to the sound of the lapping of the waves of the lake - El Faro is located directly on the lake and the predominant winds seem to be whip up waves and a breeze directly at the hotel. We left the windows open...

... like most of the town's buildings) owned by an old couple who looked German and spoke Spanish. Patrick didn't wake up on the transfer into the room, so rather than send one of us out to a bank and to search for food in the dark, we decided to go to bed hungry. It was already 10pm. The next morning we (well, I) delighted in the delicious Argentine coffee served at breakfast, while Patrick delighted in his beloved medialunas (mini ...

Villa La Angostura, Patagonia, Argentina dymphna9817... my board straight and closed my eyes and screamed my way to doing my first jump!! Awesome, epic, skillz! I was so chuffed with myself, even though I was so pussy compared to the rest of the girls. But that was one of the great things about this day, it was so free and easy and pressure free and we all just encouraged each other and gave each other tips and pointers to get better! Rock on the girls! On the way down I was pretty merry drunk and we had decided to go down a long cat ...

Bariloche, Argentina che-mati... you! Got through another book called We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver. An amazing book, so thought provoking and disturbing! Go read it and get talking about it! My dad turned 50 this week and he took delight in telling me I was nearing 30! I don't think he realizes that I stopped getting older at 23 and haven't had a birthday since then! I plan on being 23 for a few more years to come! So I am far from 30! But, just to keep young and ...
Bariloche, Argentina mrsplaying_dead... or London!! Then I come away and everything gets taken from my in such a short space in time! I have decided now not to buy or replace any of the stolen items as it is just not worth it! I guess in a place where the people have so little it is rude or not such a bright idea to be flashing western 21st century totally not needed items around! They just district you from living and interacting with people and distracts from the traveling and journey itself! I am talking ...
