We have made it to some beautiful places in Argentina. We took the Patagonian Express train (an interesting experience) across the country to Bariloche in the Lakes District. Bariloche, though extremely touristy, is a beautiful ski/summer resort area. We spent five days there, hiking through the area and enjoying the great views (pictures to come hopefully soon, but I´ve been lazy about uploading them as well.) We also enjoyed some fabulous food...Matthias finally had the Argentinian steak of his dreams: a Bife de Chorizo (strip or sirloin, we think) that was out of this world.
We are now in El Bolson - just as scenic (in a different way) as Bariloche, but "crunchier". It reminds me a little bit of Berkeley, with somewhat of a hippy scene, but for the snow-capped mountains in the background and the fact that everyone smokes. So far we´ve hiked around the area to waterfalls and scenic views. We plan to stay another three days. 
Tomorrow we plan to take a break from hiking and post some pictures. Really!
