I know this great new lunch place...

Patagonia is amazing. I know I am not the first to make this declaration, nor will I be the last, but it is honestly the most beautiful, varied, and vast place I have ever seen on Earth. I saw a glacier on El Calafate and went on the best hike of my life in El Chalten. I was totally alone on the trail, in the middle of the Andes Mountains, awestruck by Mother Nature. I think I smiled and giggled to myself the entire trek. When I finally made it to Lago Capri, I settled on a small beach and ate the best jamon y queso sandwich of my life! Traveling alone is challenging in many ways, but one of them is that I am the only in charge. I should have stayed in El Chalten for at least 3 days but alas I had already made plans to travel north to Bariloche. I am all set with 30 plus hour bus rides folks. Not in the least bit fun. But Bariloche was also beautiful, Lake Tahoe aspires to be it one day, and now I am in Mendoza. That´s wine country and I am ready for some vino! The plan is to bike around the different vineyards tomorrow and then go white water rafting on Friday. Saturday I make my way into Chile.
