despidimos!

Last night we went out for beer and ice cream in town. I found my new favorite flavor of ice cream - Ferrero Rocher. i had no idea that argentina was such a big ice cream place. huge! so many new flavors! They finished the well yesterday so today we washed clothes and came into town to check out a little feria that´s here every saturday. Tonight we´re having a big party because we´re all heading different ways from Vida´s farm. i´m heading up to Mendoza for a couple days, where i will hopefully meet back up with Filip and Henrique. from there i´m hoping to take a bus to Parque Aconcagua (the highest mountain in the Americas) so i am waiting to hear if i got a hostel reservation there, so i could spend a day or two hiking around the park, and then i will cross the border to Chile and go to Santiago to see Ana Lombera, a friend from high school.

after that...i have to figure it out! i got a Chile book from Peter, and i´m thinking of going by boat along the coast to Puerto Montt, cross on in the Lake District to Bariloche back in Argentina, going to El Bolson, where there are also a lot of farms (vida´s given me some ideas of where to go, since she was there for 6 months last year), and then head further south in Patagonia to Parque los Glaciares in Argentina or Torres del Paine in Chile. we shall see! it´s exciting to have such flexibility.

So in packing up i discovered that i DO have my camera charger. So all my pictures are up on picasa at http://picasaweb.google.com/mpless and now i´m charging my camera here so i can take and add even more!
