What's the Deal?
This blog is my play area. I use it just to keep stuff sort of documented.

Olive oil tasting
While we were on our wine tasting tour, we asked if the trees we were seeing were olive trees. They are, and the tour leader was excited about our interest. She set up an olive oil tasting before our cooking class. It's an established oil-making farm with a new shop...
Pan America motorcycles
I was locked out of my blog for a few frustrating days. It said it didn't trust someone trying to log in from Argentina, so it wanted me to log in and approve the log in. But it wouldn't let me log in to approve it... because I'm Argentina. When I get caught up in...
Wine tasting tour
We visited two wineries a few miles from our hotel. The conversation, lunch, and wines were outstanding. We also discovered Mendoza olive oil! This is Durigutti winery.
End of the World Post Office
In the Tierra del Fuego National Park, we got our pasports stamped at the "End of the World" post office.

Last night in Ushuaia
We had pizza, Lisa got to sit in a church, and we had the world's most confusing hotel lock.

Museum of marine mammals
On the Harberton ranch, there is a museum of marine mammals. It was founded by the mother of the current owner, Aby. Some of these skulls are not marine mammals.
Estancia Harberton
In Tierra del Fuego, we rented a car and drove about 2 hours out of town, on to dirt roads, to the Harberton Ranch. It lies on the east mouth of the Beagle channel. Looking out of the channel, there is an island in the middle. To the left of the island was the...
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...
Food
In El Chalten, we ate at a restaurant that serves traditional Argentinean food in a fixed menu. You eat what they serve you for 5 courses. It is very meat based. I had the best beef intestine I ever ate.
