Necessito unas vacaciones.
Tengo mi libro de espanol.
Quiero las montanas y aire fresco...
Vamos a patagonia!
The time has come to revive the blog! It's been a well over a year since I went to the Tetons and Yellowstone, which means it's high time for a grand adventure. The mountains. Hiking. Penguins. Culture. Wait, did I say penguins!?
Fingers crossed, this will be the grandest adventure of them all.
Over the coming weeks, I will be journeying around Patagonia with my former housemate and friend, Ellie. We will drive 1380 km. We will trek to some of Patagonia's most renowned viewpoints on both sides of the Argentina-Chile border. We'll step back in time and head to the end of the earth. And we'll take in the fabulous culture of Buenos Aires.
An adventure this grand doesn't happen overnight though. We've been researching and planning for 7 months to make this trip a reality. We've been through 8 draft itineraries, scoured books and blogs, debated the limitations of our time and energy, and spent countless Skype calls hashing out details. We've done winter shakedown hikes and - in my case - taken lessons in Spanish and manual driving. We have loads of maps and an epic spreadsheet of logistical details. We've ordered pesos and developed contingencies. We are as ready as we can be.
And now the time has come.
Assuming I have wifi along the way, I'll be blogging throughout our journey. I hope you'll join us as we discover some of the most rugged and majestic landscape on earth!
