Beagle Channel

Originally uploaded by kathsmee.

Hey, just a quick up date for now to say that we have added some photo highlights to our Flickr account (see the link on the right of the page) if you wanna have a look.

Since I last updated we have travelled back accross Argentina visiting a few places on the way to BA. Spent a few days in BA and then flew down south to Ushuaia, at almost the end of the world. We’re now heading north up through patagonia, and on Tuesday morning we are about to embark on a 6 day trek in Torres del Paine national park in Chile.

The photo here is the Beagle Channel, it was just so breathtakingly beautiful, the photos do not do it justice, nor do thos eof the seals and sea lions we were so close to, but take a look.

More football…. Godoy Gruz vs. Rosario

The last weekend in Mendoza was Semana Santa (Easter weekend) so not much was going on. That said we managed to visit some more Bodegas, this time on bikes and some of the smaller more boutique wineries which was really interesting.

On the Sunday there was a local match, the team in the area of town we are staying in is currently playing in the Argentinean first division and that weekend were competing at home. Needless to say I was once again terrified of going, especially having been warned by our hosts that it wasn’t safe. But once again I went along and thoroughly enjoyed it.

We were standing (no such thing as seats here) in the populares stands with the die hard fans and even stood at the sides it was a terrifying experience with all of the singing and drumming and general craziness. But fun, I think! I don’t really know how to describe it at the moment, need to let it sink in i think, and I will post some photos and video to show you the atmosphere. But boys, you would have loved it I’m sure and Wendy should be proud of my bravery!!

p.s. We have of course managed to find a TV for every Liverpool champions league match out here too, dedicated girlfriend of or what!!

Gainfully Employed!!!
