I welcome global warming

Brrrrrrrr from Patagonia,


After due time in Buenos Aires, I have picked my trip back up and am now in the Patagonia. Three days ago I flew into El Calafate, Argentina from B.A. where I successfully hitch-hiked (only 45 minutes) to the Perito Moreno Glacier, which was amazing. It was also the first time in over 7 weeks of traveling I got to use the tent I´ve been lugging around this whole time. And of course everyone laughs when they see it erect (insert joke here), because its size is more fitted for a coffin, but it makes for easy packing and carrying. Thanks to Wes for the tent and Mickey for the sleeping bag, I couldn´t have been the punchline of many jokes without you guys. After too frigid nights in El Calafate, I arrived today in Puerto Natales, Chile. From here I will do a 4 night trek in Torres del Paine National Park and then return to Puerto Natales for a 4 day ferry trip northbound to Puerto Montt through Chilean fjords.
