It´s 3:15A.M., and I´m waiting for my taxi to the airport. Due to a major cluster$%&# of airplane reservations and general bad planning, I´ll be changing planes no less than 6 times over the next 36 hours. Oh well, it will be good to get home.
I just finished a Tango lesson and the opportunity to dance at a Milonga in Argentina. Talk about sink or swim, after a one hour lesson we were thrown in with a group of top notch dancers. Only 2 of us ended up dancing - if I remember it took me 4 months of salsa dancing before I would go out to show off my moves.
Anyway, now might be a good time to outline our second hike.
My dad and I bussed down to Osorno, Chile, where we started to see some plant life and the typical Patagonia topography. The next day we cruised over the Andes to Bariloche, meeting Andris and Jamie for standard Argentinian fair.
From Bariloche we hiked to a refugio on Mt. Tronador - a massively glaciated peak reminiscent of Mt. Hood. With no technical equipment, the summit was off limits, but we managed to see the most epic sunset I´ve ever seen, and spent another 4 days hiking.
My dad and I just about ran up another peak to see the view: mountains as far as the eye could see. Definately worth further exploration.
The end of almost three weeks of hiking came too quickly, and 5 days in Buenos Aires was enough to erase it all. But this is a fun city. Come here if you want to learn Spanish and have a good time. Definately the best Latin American city I´ve been to.
