Continuing on from El Calafate and the ST. Patty's day debauchery....

BARILOCHE
-Argentina-
3/18/07-3/22/03


After having our fill of ice, we boarded another plane with Irish hangovers and made our way up to the picturesque lake district of Bariloche. The day after we arrived, we met up with our Swiss friend Silvio with whom we had spent 10 weeks in a language school in Buenos Aires. Silvio was now traveling with two Israeli girls, Anat and Michal, whom he met while hitchhiking in Chile. Oddly enough Anat had the same exact camera as I did and hers was broken in the exact same way as mine! Luckily, Silvio and Michal shared their pictures with us. Together, we rented a car for two days and drove the Seven Lakes Tour...it was a blast! We already posted a blog about the adventure and now, here are the pictures to accompany the words:

Sampling the brews


The first day with the car:
Day hike to see two more glaciers




Here we drank water that flows straight from the glacier
(I can't believe how small that giant glacier looks in this picture)


Examining this giant volcanic rock


The black glacier (blackened from volcanic ash)








Day two with the car, the Seven Lakes Tour:
The lakes themselves, while beautiful, weren't necessarily the highlight of the journey; but the ride....unforgettable























”We are five”


Put on Roxette and make disco with flashlights
