I LOVE not having to schlep bags! We just put our bags out and then magically they get taken on and off the bus, plane, etc. and are waiting in our hotel room!

We made our way to Patagonia today where it is COLD! We saw 2 glacier covered volcanoes in the few minutes it wasn´t overcast. We are very close to Antartica, which is mind boggling to me.

This is where the Germans settled in the 1800´s and where the Nazi creeps came to escape trial. So there´s lots of German influence. (There is only one computer here, so I have to hurry.) The best part of the day was the horse breeding ranch where they breed horsed to step sideways to steer cattle and perform that stunt in the rodeo, the national pastime. We had a demonstration of the rodeo which is only one event. I thought of Buns the whole time. We got to pet the horses and feed them, which was very cool. Then the ranch served us pisco sours while we watched and then fed us a delicious dinner. We get treated to some wonderful adventures. Then to the hotel which is somewhat limited but right on the lake. We had to go shopping to get hats and scarves, cuz it is REALLY cold. We feel like we are in the mountains.

Anyway, more to come. Thanks for the comments. Keep em coming!

Love ya
