It’s A Small World. Onward to the granite towers of Paine!
/2 Comments/in Argentina, Chile, South America, Travelogue /by allanI spent the better part of the morning using the wireless at my favorite coffee shop/confiteria here in El Calafate. So the plan of an early start simply meant an early start catching up on the e-mail and blog while throwing in some photo editing. It’s getting tougher to keep this blog up to date. […]
More Repairs and On The Road Again.
/0 Comments/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue /by allanI was too tired from the days trek to do anything about the predicament I was in. I was certain there was no one with the capacity to weld aluminum in this town. Yet I needed to straighten the bracket so that the Jesse bag could hang straight and offer unencumbered access to the fuel […]
Trekking the Andes and the power of Patagonia vistas and viento (wind).
/0 Comments/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue /by allanAn early start this morning put me on the trail toward Fitz Roy earlier than the “crowds” I’d meet along my trek later this afternoon. The crisp cool air and painted blue sky with just a hint of fluffy clouds made for a perfect morning. I packed my day pack with some bread, trail mix, […]

In one post […]

No hay disponible por este noche,” Sebastian, the tall lanky son of the owners of Hosteria Los Nires in El Calafate said as he pulled the ear buds from his ears. He admired my motorcycle, my journey and enjoyed our several conversations about Argentina. At the time of checking in I had […]
Warmth of Friends. Chill of Icy Waters — Hanging in the balance at El Calafate.
/7 Comments/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue /by allanRainbow from yesterday’s ride. I’m enjoying El Calafate. There are good restaurants, services a plenty and it’s a place where travelers congregate. It’s a jumping off point for many places in Patagonia including El Chalten (Fitz Roy), Torres del Paine, and the legendary Ruta 40’s southern section. For me it’s a perfect opportunity to take […]
Sights & Sounds of Perito Moreno Glacier.
/1 Comment/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue /by allanMorning rains and gray skies dissuaded me from taking an early morning hourlong ride to the Perito Moreno Glacier until later in the afternoon. By the time I took the road along the lake I was treated to a massive rainbow over the now turquoise blue Lago Argentina. Of course, the winds had another bout […]
