The Beautiful Lake District, Argentina

We are both excited to finally be in PATAGONIA! What an amazing place!

Em and I rendezvous'd in Bariloche (in the heart of Argentina's lake district) and we now have an amazing new camera...among some other great treats.

The new camera is A bit bigger than the low profile one we have been sporting, but wow its worth it. The zoom and the panoramic features are my favorite, among many other features still eluding me. I have been a bit snap happy, but as you will see it has already afforded some sweet shots. I will let the pics tell most of the story.

A few pics of the mountain architecture around these hills.

Catching up on sleep we hunkered down together, then we bursted out full of exploration.

First out to a hotel named Llao Llao, cool architecture and a setting to make it worth the umpteen gezellion pesos it costs to stay there, so for us pictures were more affordable.

Then back down penninsula to Cerro Catedral (the place i skied last week). A bit strange to take a tram then a chair lift in winter with our inadequate (and not near as fun) shoes. The top awarded panoramic views that stretched into Chile, down into deepblue mountain lakes and sugar coated peaks. This camera rocks!!!!!

The Andes, One peak in Argentina and one in Chile. This was really far away.

Today we crossed back over into Chile as we prepare for our boat trip through the Chilean Archipelagos into deep southern Patagonia: Puerto Montt to Puerto Natales. We are praying for managable weather and we are stoked!
