Since our Buenos Aires adventures we´ve been:

Well, first, on our last night in the city we agreed to go out with our roommates (2 crazy Norwegians). However, the club scene in the city doesn´t START until 2 am. So we drank our wine and then some before heading out to Opera Bay (a club that looks like a flattned Sydney Opera House). The club was comprised of 5 huge rooms with throbbing music of all different genres and I swear the tallest Argentian guy in the club found Alexa and danced with us for a bit. However, arriving back at the hostel at 5:30 am we missed our 7:30 am alarm and the first boat to Uruguay.

But we did make the second ferry. Amazingly. A bit dishevled we arrived in Colonia de Sacramento (a tiny, touristy town just across from Buenos Aires...it is an old Portuguese port). Quaint and charming (although very rainy) we enjoyed our time in Uruguay as a nice break from the bustle of the big city. Yesterday we ferried back to B.A. to fly down to El Calafate (a tiny little city in southern Patagonia).




Today, we visited a glacier, El Perrito Moreno - hopefully, we´ll get some pics up soon. The glacier was huge (60 meters high and the size of B.A.) with a beautiful blue hue and looking down upon it - it looked like a field of dollops of merengue. (If that makes sense?). It is also one of the more active glaciers so we got to see several huge chunks of ice fall into the lake.





In sum, almost a week has passed and we love the people. They´re incredibly friendly. We´re struggling with the Spanish, but it is coming slowly and I´ve been mistaken for a local twice (by two different old women at the airport, both asking random questions, much to the amusement of the people nearby. The scenery in Patagonia is staggering in its expansiveness and we´re looking forward to the vistas and hiking in the Andes. KKG
