After battling an 11 hour bus from Mendoza, and an overnight airline strike in Buenos Aires, we made it to El Calafate. Certainly worth the wait.
Snuck in a great dinner last night and some maddening Quilmes Beer Pong (see next post) before setting out early today to trek Perito Moreno, one of Argentina's famous glaciers. Truly amazing, and one our of favorite parts of the trip so far.
The Vanilla Ice jokes were flowing...especially after a whiskey on [glacier] ice toast post-hike.
To Jon Zast...Happy Birthday!
Looks like DC circa early February. But seriously, are you two filming a Canadian beer commercial?
ReplyDeleteMost people don't know this, but Calafate translates as "the hot fat man" in Spanish. It was named in honor of Al Gore's struggle against climate change.
Guys, `once again challenging yourselves to the ultimate extremes of weather and landscapes. `love it. Even better is that they have whiskey there. This is definitely a great way to keep the blood flowing in the middle of ice glaciers.
