A Bus Weekend, Part II
Day: 166
$12 pesos ($4) for two cups of coffee and a couple pieces of bread! Outragous! I think this tour is making money of us right and left. Yesterday we had a “guide” on the bus, but she told us nothing about trip, she just spent the entire time trying to sell us tours for once we got deep in Patagonia. I declined. All day the bus kept stopping in the most out of the way places where a little family in their garage was waiting with some hot empandas and pizza waiting to charge us for it. Tricky Bastards, the bus drivers surely getting a kick back.
The scenery is getting more spectacular though and by the time we made it to El Chaltan (11pm) it looked like a tiny frontier town, 300 permanant residents. We checked in found some beer and a few of us that had become friends on the bus, set a plan to hike up to one of the glaciers tomorrow at 10 am.

There is such an air of wilderness where you are it is rather surreal. I am just glad for you that they do have supplies to keep you nourished and rested.
I look forward with great anticipation to the pics of the glaciers! Love, Dad.
Holy COW! I am in love with this last picture. Just incredible. The movement of the clouds, the angle of the road, the sharp contrast at the horizon… you ‘effing rock. Yet another brilliant picture for your collection!
