We were in Puerto Natales twice. It felt like cold spring!

One of my many worries was changing money in Argentina. the official rate is 350 Pesos to One US Dollar, but the "Blue Market" rate is higher. We went to the official exchange office in El Calafate, but they were out of money and told us to try the restaurant next...

Dogs and spring are everywhere in Argentina!

Today was a thrilling but physically exhausting day. We hiked to the base of Los Tores. One of our Australian hike-mates recorded 33,000 steps (he had real long legs), 22Km, and 315 floors climbed and descended,

Here are way too many photos of our trek.

We spent one dusty hot day in Santiago. We stayed at the Holiday Inn at the airport. We took a taxi in to town and rode the cable cat to the central lookout. Then we figured out how to use the subway and bus to return. That was our own little adventure!

Our flight out of Atlanta was delayed 90 minutes. Not too much of a problem, just a lot of waiting around.

Four outfits covering four seasons; fitted into a carry-on and a personal item. We will see how this goes!
