Salads
we eat salads every day, even while waiting for the plane at Calafate Airport.
El Chalten
El Chalten is a quaint little town built for tourists, especially trekkers. We very much enjoyed our short stay.
it was peaceful, although one day the locals burned tires on the bridge into town to protest the lack of affordable housing for the service industry workers.
one barkeep told us that since the election, her landlord is demanding rent for her room in US dollars.
Money goes far
A salad, a pizza, and 4 drinks. $15 USD
Bus rides
Patagonia requires a lot of time getting there on planes, buses, and taxis.
I thought we would like the doubledecker bus for the long rides, so we could see the sights, but we both found it a little too much like a ship. The side to side swaying made us both a bit queasy.
Puerto Natales airport
It’s always fun to walk to the plane.
