Happy 2009 to all you crazy blog followers!! Hope everyone had a wonderful time celebrating the nuevo año. We brought in the new year with our new friend brendon (a fellow traveler who spends his summers in alaska and his winters in latin america), a baby lamb skewered over an open fire, and a group of rowdy argentines with a guitar and a love for cheesy international pop hits. We couldn´t have asked for a better entrance into the new year!
We have been thoroughly enjoying our time here in El Bolson, chillin in the shade of our beautiful campsite, eating incredible camp cooked meals, visiting the feria (local crafts market), going on day hikes, and soaking up the buena onda of our favorite home away from home. This place is amazing... there are so many hawks living in our campground its like eagles in Alaska... Boring. No but seriously though, they are beautiful and so much fun to watch.
Yesterday we went to lago puelo where we hiked up to a mirador (lookout) looking out over the lake and the surrounding mountains. We were still in argentina but from our vantage point we could look across the lake and see the chilean andes. We continued up the mountain and stumbled across an old dilapidated farm along the hillside. It was long deserted but the fruits of the previous farmer´s labor still remained-literally, there were dozens of beautiful ripe cherry trees bursting with unpicked fruit. We were in hiker heaven! After gorging ourselves on cherries we headed down to the lake for a refreshing swim in the crystal clear waters of lago puelo.
Tomorrow morning, bright and early we are heading to Puerto Montt, Chile to meet up with our friend Leslie Camacho. We already know she will be an amazing addition to team kamelian and look forward to once again traveling with her. we will then continue down the Carretera Austral to our next amazing destinations.
hasta pronto!!
