Snow and Tango

Here are some pictures from the past three weeks that have been waiting for a fast enough internet connection. I'm not used to snapping photos and frequently forget my camera, but I promise there will be more.

See all that glare behind me?
Yeah, that's ice.
My ass was killing me.

Foothills of the Andes just west of Mendoza.

Monement to the Army of the Andes on Cerro de la Gloria in Parque San Martin

I like the Condor on the lower right

Snowboarding in the Andes! I'm jealous, but my ass is not.

Btw- check out that couchsurfing.com website when you get a chance. Lauren and I have been looking and a lot of the people on there remind me of the type of person you are. Well traveled, open-minded, multi-lingual hard party'ers.

I'm going to try to make one of these this weekend in an effort to be more "green". I'll fry some fish and let you know how it works out.

Dear Nathan:
 
    Just spent a happy couple of hours reading and enjoying your blog.  What a real adventure!  You write extremely well and the pictures are great.
 
    What I did was to print up all 15 pages of June 15 through June 26.   Then I read it under the page magnifier.  Very enjoyable!  Am impressed with your initiative, courage, endurance ... and excellent writing.
 
    Good night for now..... Love,  Sophie
