El Chaltén a El Calafate

1. The trip back to El Calafate, even at 8 am, is beautiful.

2. Paying for a guided bus tour is a waste of money if you keep falling asleep.

3. If the sun in shining in the town of El Calafate, it necessarily means that it is cold and rainy as you enter the actual park.

4. Perito Moreno glacier is one of the most massive, impressive, and incredible pieces of nature I have ever seen. it is hard to wrap your mind around how monstrous it appears, but it is even harder to wrap your mind around the fact that it extends more than 300 ft. below the water. The glacier radiates a very vibrant blue hue.

although a little disappointed we did not have the time or money to walk on the glacier, the boat ride we took was wonderful. we got extremely close to the glacier and saw a bit of calving (unfortunately nothing like some of the pictures you see).

5. be thankful for warm stew when you dont' feel well and your body just needs a little TLC.
