El Chalten Pics

Awesome wine rack, Duffy can you make us one as a hexagon?

Our last breakfast at Casa Lucy, you can see the gift we gave her under the tree. If anyone goes to Puerto Natales you have to stay at Casa Lucy she is great. MMMMM.....cheese for breakfast.

The distances to various countries from the middle of nowhere on Ruta 40. This is the beginning of our two day, over 24 hour bus ride.

Merry Christmas salsa. This was the first and only we have made so far because we have been craving Mexican food. No tortilla chips here anywhere so we had to eat it with bread and rice cakes. Very festive colors, yes?

Amber enjoying our three course Christmas Eve meal at Como la Vaca. Steak, mashed herbed potatoes, caprese salad, lamb empanada, and two bottles of wine. BOMB!!!

This is the little town where we stayed for the holidays. It is in the middle of Glaciers National Park. That is Mount Fitz Roy in the background. The town was tiny but we enjoyed relaxing there after the hike.

Another shot of our Christmas Eve dinner with our Romanian friends, Christian & Ramona. Thanks Julia and Duffy!

So we stayed at the restaurant pretty late and got to eat with the locals. They had an entire lamb cooking the entire night and they served it up at like 11:30 at night. This is me grubbing on a delicious piece.

So we had some live local entertainment at dinner too. We bought a CD to remember the awesome night. They played all sorts of instruments.

Another shot of El Chalten. You can see the torres on the right as well.

Ambers awesome shot from the bus of the entire Fitz Roy range.

So this is about  hour away from Bariloche, on our 2nd day of travel, after about 22 hours or so, and our bus broke down. At least the weather was awesome and we only had to wait about 2 hours for the other bus to come.

This is how we filled our time waiting for the bus. Patience and Balance.
