Had a bit of a long night to my day yesterday. Made it home by 4 am only to rise a few hours later, still a bit on the better side of drunk, to go to school and take my exam to pass onto the next level. Fought off throwing up on my test on three separate occasions and managed to pass with flying colors. Now, if I could only speak Spanish…
The school organized a trip to the historical museum in Bariloche that covers both natural and cultural histories of Patagonia. Totally engrossed in it all when Ann arrived to retrieve me for the big road trip we had apparently planned last night during our night – which started at about 4 pm.
Dom (Brit), Ann (American), and Kim (Swiss) are three really great people that I have been spending most of my days with. Yesterday Kim and I cooked a really great meal at his guest house; it was fantastic to cook and not have to eat at a restaurant again – its now become a plan for a few days next week as well. Anyways, they are all three very cool people and generally enjoy having fun together. So the plan for the day was to rent a car and drive north along the lake to the town of Villa la Angostura, about 1 hour from Bariloche and just about 30 kilometers from the Chilean border.
This was easily one of the most beautiful, and fun, drives I have ever been on. The mountains here are jagged like I have never seen before, not all of them are this way, but there are many that are quite beautiful like that. We drove and stopped and drove and stopped all along the way. Grabbed a parradilla (a grilled assortment of meats) and then kicked around the town and lake for a bit before heading back.
It has snowed a bit on the mountains and there is more in the forecast, but the Chilean volcano has blown again, so that could completely change the weather pattern and leave us wet, but with temps too high for the needed snow accumulation. Mikel Bova Esq. is due to arrive at the middle or so of next week, hopefully he’ll bring Url along with him.
