La Querencia Cuyo

En el cuárto día, nosotros visitamos el Cuyo. Era muy bonito. Primero, nosotros fuimos ala delta en las colinas de pie. Fue muy interesante y emocionante. Después, nosotros comímos en el restaraunté de Azafrán. Te recomiendo que tu comes allí porque tiene carne mejor. Es muy delicioso! Nos quedamos en el hotel de Cavas Wine Lodge. Fue muy bonito! Pero, era caro

hallo, ich bin hier auf einer kleinen insel mitten im nichts...dafuer gibts hier unmassen an "HEY JOE!" rufenden Kindern. Hey joe ist hier die Standard begruessung, haengt wahrscheinlich mit den amitruppen zusammen die hier 50 jahre anch demn 2.weltkrieg rumhingen. Nervt.... Ich bin auf nem schrecklichem bananendampfer welcher mich hoffentlich morgen in palawan abliefert. Die gestrige nacht habe ich bis ...

... playa bonita. We arrived at the beach found a place to sit and have some lunch. I wasn't 2 bits into my sandwich when I was stung by a bee through my trekking pants. How the hell did that happen? Did you know yellow jackets could sting through pants? I think not! Good thing I'm not allergic to bees I hope that is the case next time too. I don´t want to end up like Macaulay Culkin in My Girl. Tomorrow is Santa (Easter) enjoy.

... we were treated to a creamy Bailey{s on crushed glacier ice that the guides chipped off the rocks into plastic cups for us. It was the best Bailey's I have ever had and will eve have. Warmed inside we made the journey back across the Glacier to the green igloo tent to dis-armour, sad that our surreal expedition had come to an end, but happy that this was another experience to add to the wonders of a Patagonian adventure.

... a way to see the park and I was really glad to see one woman in a wheelchair with her husband out and enjoying the view. It was a nice moment to listen to their conversation as they looked at the snow capped Andes off in the distance at the Chilean border. On my way back I was contemplating hiking the complete reverse of what I had come but realized that it would put me at the end of the trail close to dark without sure ...

... Next we drove by the ski area and then stopped at a lodge where sledding huskies are penned. Sad to see them penned and know that they only get about 2 long runs per week outside of their pens. They didn't seem malnurished or ill-kept so I guess this is normal for these types of dogs. After the lodge we drove a while further on paved road and made our way to an off road area that led of to one of two lakes we visited. The truck we were driving in was ...

... me though, no, I got off the bus to be met by a strange old crusty man who seemed to summon a car out of nowhere. "Estancia El Venado? Charly?" I said, in my excellent Spanish. "Si" he affirmed so in I jumped. I then spent the next 20 odd minutes slowly working out that this was in fact a random local and not the driver sent to meet me. He had no idea where he was going and I was getting increasingly frustrated. Finally, I managed to get hold ...

... priced as compared to the States. When I arrived in town last night the woman who runs the B&B and her son recommended eating at a couple of local eateries and it seems as though folks here survive on home cooked meals and takeaway such as pizza, grilled meat, potatoes, and sides of vegetables. Food is really inexpensive at the local places but I haven't as yet wandered into a tourist restaurant. I suspect that the only ...

... birds and elephant seals!! Sadly, no killer whales but that was always unlikely. Other than that we´ve mostly just been hanging around the city, and spent too long on the beach- the back of my legs are now seriously burnt! The hostel has also been really great- my favorite so far I think, with hammocks and a nice kitchen! So now we´re just waiting four our bus to go back to Buenos Aires, where we should get an apartment and I think I´m doing some more Spanish!!

... very windy so we were not assaulted by the breeding grounds smell. At first we did not think we would see much, we are directed to stick to a path which seemed to far away from the penguins, but as we kept walking we saw more and more of them and were not disappointed at all. What was really cool was sitting on a cliff watching them swim, a lot of the babies were giving it a go and they were not ...
