Pictures

Hello out there in computer land. I´ve been scrolling through some pictures on the computer here in Puerto Montt. My original intention was to write an incredibly in depth account of where we have been since our last post and where we are heading in the next week and a half. Alas, the combination of someone watching a TV show with lots eery music and horrifying screams (apparently satan is possessing people) a foot away from my desk and a bit of wine after dinner has stolen any ounce of concentration that I once posessed. The result, a selection of pictures from Parque NacionalTorres del Paine and PN Los Glaciares. Enjoy.

A peek from the bus as we left Chalten. Cerro Torre (center, snowy) cleared just in time for our departure. Note to future visitors: Request seats in the front of a bus that arrives during the day.
