It's been a while since I updated my blog, so here goes. We went to Patagonia (Argentina and Chile) over Christmas. I definitely recommend a trip there - breathtaking views, amazing food (definitely try the fuegian lamb), and great hiking. Natural beauty on the scale that you find in Patagonia is quite humbling - you realize how small and insignificant you are when you're standing next to the Torres del Paine or in front of the Moreno glacier. We also managed to come up close and personal with a variety of animals like right whales, orcas, penguins, and sea lions. If we can save up the money, we're thinking of returning to Ushuaia and doing Antarctica in a couple of years. Some pics, enjoy!
