Friends, it seems that our Mac laptop is sick again... We'll get it checked out in Buenos Aires, but perhaps it's on the way out. Disappointing as that is, we've hit this rough patch before and managed to survive; so we will keep on moving.
(March 17 update: Mac up and running again, so we now can post our photos... woohoo!)
The Argentine Lake District in Northern Patagonia is a stunning place where the Andes meet deep blue lakes carved out by glaciers, the surroundings covered in beautiful evergreen forests. We spent a few days loving life in beautiful but touristy Bariloche with our friends Meg and Jackie, checking out the Nahuel Huapi national park. We took a tour boat to the isolated Isla Victoria. At first we were concerned by the massive numbers of (old) fellow tourists on the boat; worries abated when we were turned loose on the island to explore it's pristine environment.
(When our boat made its first stop we were terrified that that pristine natural experience would be spoiled by too many people crowded onto small walkways. Luckily it was just a small portion of the day, the rest of the time we were free to wander through the forests on our own)
There were no parting tears, but we were sad to send Meg and Jackie to Buenos Aires while we hit the road South to El Bolson, where we are now. The beautiful mountain scenery helped get us on the move again... And after sampling the artesanal beers today at the local hippie/craft market, we are reinvigorated and ready to head off to the mountains for a few days of trekking the Patagonian Andes.
