Walking on water Ok, so technically, its compacted snow, but thats still water right?! It is quite difficult to find the words to describe seeing the glaciers in Los Glacieres National Park in southern Patagonia. When you see an impressive mountain, you think "ah, thats an impressive mountain, I know what mountains look like and thats a great one"..

Fortunately, "Pedro" squeezing me in one side and the wall on the other made it quite pleasurable.. Anyway, the hard work is done and the sun is shining over Buenos Aires.
