The Final Countdown

As we sit in El Calafate, reflecting on our trip and attempting to strategically plan out the last 11 days of our adventure...it is difficult to imagine what life will be like when we return to the motherland. Fortunately for us, we have seen and experienced more things in the 38 days we´ve been here that I had ever imagined possible, here´s some of the unexpected awesomeness; whale/elephant seal watching, riding a glacier, bike wine tours, SKIING!

Although snow is falling back home and winter is around the corner, continuing to travel for another 4 months, like everyone else down here, would be amazing. But, we do have over ten days left to get from the south of Patagonia to the middle of Chile. SO, tomorrow we are taking off from El Calafate to a national park in Chile called Torres del Paine. Thanks to a suggestion from a friend, we are travelling to a land of jagged peaks, glaciers, free camping, and unlimited possibilities. We plan on heading there for a few days to trek/explore and then start making our way north zig-zagging between Argentina and Chile. Some possible stops are San Carlos de Bariloche, Puerto Valero, who knows. For the two of us, time and money is going too fast, but our smiles never seem to go away...

To the adventure of a lifetime and a lifetime of adventure....

(can´t wait for ski season in Colorado)
