Patagonia. Nov.7,2009

It rains about 6ft a year in this region. ANd it rained today and was very cold.

Left early by bus to go to the first national park in chile, stopping at a huge rushing river with roaring rapids that could easily be rated a ten! We could walk across many of them, very cool.

Then on into the park for a 2 hr. catamaran ride which is the only mode of transportation. Ended in a tiny village with only 2 hotels where we lunched in front of
The lakes surrounded by beautiful mountain glaciers. It is quite spetactuular-- even with the cloud cover.

Now back to our hotel arriving about 8 pm. E and j and R and I have happy hour in our room
nightly.

Tomorrow we cross the Andes to Argentina to another lake not far from where we are now! It will be a ten hour day!! Have to stock up on wine :)
