After leaving El Chalten, we spent a couple of days in the town of El Calafate for one reason…to see the Perito Moreno Glacier. We split a taxi with some new Israeli friends and headed out at 6 a.m. to avoid paying the national park entrance fee. Hey, every little bit counts.
The glacier is gi-normous…almost 20 miles long and 40 – 60 meters in height. We spent most of the day walking along the viewing platforms, just staring in awe at this thing and even took a boat ride to get some up close views. Every now and then a huge chunk would fall off and crash into the lake, which was awesome.
The next day on Thanksgiving while most of you were eating turkey and dressing, Kelly and I feasted on lamb risotto and a bottle of wine at a nearby parilla. We missed all the typical goodies, but know they’ll be plenty of pumpkin pie next year. Hope all of you had a wonderful holiday!
That’s amazing! I wish you could have gotten video of the chunks falling… very National Geographic! :o)
Can’t wait to hear about Chile. I bet you’ll get some more awesome, cheap wine there. Miss you!
