Remember when I said I was going to keep these Peru posts to 10(ish) photos? Ha! Weeding through these photos to choose less than a dozen is downright painful. I’m keeping this one to 13, but I can’t guarantee I can hold back on posting more in the future…. After a few days in Cuzco …
Me in Peru I’m back from Peru, and it was great. The ruins were otherworldly, the mountains were steep and lush, and the new friendships are timeless. As you know, I take a lot of photos, but I am restricting myself to ten(ish) photos per post. Lots of mellow street dogs in Cuzco. Narrow, cobblestone …
March 24, 2008 Yesterday we pretty much got packed up, returned the rental car, flew to Buenos Aires, took a cab to the hotel and had food. That was about it. Henry met us at the airport in BA, which was a nice surprise. A small side note: There is a super annoying song in …
March 21, 2008 Today was much more pleasant than yesterday’s cryfest. I only took one picture, so use your imagination. It will be a nice break because there are a lot of pictures coming up in the next post. We started the day with a yummy buffet breakfast at our hotel–Hotel Huemel. Then to the …
March 20, 2008 This morning we packed up our stuff and headed out of Esquel and back to Bariloche. But, we didn’t go the short way, oh no, we took the very long–and scenic–route. Anders was not happy. We started out by heading south to Trevelin and then into Parque Nacional Los Alerces. I was …

March 19, 2008 This morning we set out for the Museo Lituano Olgbrum, the Lithuanian Museum. Apparently a lot of Lithuanians settled in this area of Argentina (there are about 8 Lithuanian families here, now). Apparently, Lithuanains open their museums at 5pm, so we dinked around Esquel for a while then went back to the …
March 18, 2008 I feel a million times better today. Yesterday was rough, but Im back in the game now. Today we drove up a steep dirt road towards La Hoya, a little ski area 13km outside of Esquel. From there you can take a chairlift up 2,624 feet. I wasnt convinced wed take the lift …
Hiking in Los Alerces National Park, Argentina It sounded like home last night with the wind whipping itself into a frenzy outside our cabaña. Today should have been the rest day as I was feeling pretty sick and could have used that 3-hour nap Anders took yesterday. Anders entertained himself (and me) by mimicking me …
March 16, 2008 Today was a rest day. I feel like maybe Im pushing Anders a little hard. There are so many things to do and see around here and I dont want to miss out. But, he doesnt sleep in the car like he used to, so when we go all day he doesnt …
March 15, 2008 Driving from Bariloche to Esquel we left the lake district and entered the steppe. We drove from the province of Rio Negro into Chubut. It was a dramaticnot gradualshift from sparkling blue lakes surrounded by towering mountains to rolling shrublands. From the cool colors of forest green, verdant green, cobalt and aquamarine …
