hey all! so right now were back in good old buenos aires! after the treking in patagonia we headed to the bottom of the continent, ushuaia in argentina. that is the picture you see above, though we didnt quite see sunsets that spectacular. we stayed in a great hostel that was full of people and had awesome staff. we took the 5 days we had there to sleep off the trek and to swim in the scotia sea (well i did and it was beyond freezing and everyone made fun of me...
