Our flights happened fine with only a little drama. We grabbed something to eat since we were early for our flight, and in typical South American fashion, waited ridiculously long for Sierras soup. We weren't concerned until they were convinced that I had a jackknife in my backpack. We insisted, no, no knife! In the end I remembered that I had a cheap multitool with pliers, a screwdriver, and miniature scissors. By then we were stressed! He was trying to explain ...

Today we hiked on the Perito Morino glacier. It was so much fun! I had a blast! We got up with plenty of time to make breakfast and sandwiches. When I got to the kitchen Snoop Dog was playing fairly loudly. Nothing like some angry rap first thing in the morning!! Haha! Sierra thought it was pretty funny to find her Mother making sandwiches to Snoop Dog! The glacier was only about an hour away, and when we arrived we immediately boarded a boat that took us across...

All common sense flies out the window. We will both do ridiculous things for that next great shot!! As you walk, the weather gets bette...

Mount Fitz Roy looks more like a castle from a fantasy novel than a real mountain!! The picture I posted was taken from the bus station!! The mountain overlooks the entire town. Most of the roads in town are unpaved, and the grocery store is more like a decent campground store. There is...

The end of the earth. That is what they call Ushuaia (pronounced Ushwaya). The only fully paved road in this region goes down the Atlantic side of the continent to a town called Rio Gallagos. That is a hop skip and a jump from Ushuaia which is as far south as you can go on land. We are very far south right now. Rio Gallagos is an oil town on the Atlantic side of the skinny tail on the bottom of south America. Not much to look at. We are now heading west towards t...
