Big and Blue

Hello again, this time from back in Chile! We´ve just crossed the border on our way to Torres del Paine, where we are going to spend a couple of days trekking around the national park.

Highlight of the last couple of days has definitely been visiting the Moreno Glacier in Argentina. It´s huge, and impressively blue looking. As normal, the photos don´t do it justice. We spent a few hours walking around the north face, watching huge chunks of ice falling off the front of it, before taking a boat trip (which Craig just loved- he spent it huddled up inside trying not to be sick). Sharon got some great photos though.

Sharon has been really enjoying looking out for the wildlife, especially the birds. We´ve spotted quite a few condors now, mostly around the Moreno Glacier. Sharon now has about 400 photos of microscopic dots in the sky... We´ve also seen plenty of Caracaras bumbling around, plus rheas, guanacos and meadow larks (Sharon´s particular favourite).

P.S. Steve and Sue, hope you have a great time in Florida, and that it´s not as cold as it is here!
Paul, how´s the not smoking going???
