Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

Money is, sadly, finite.

Yesterday I was getting ready to enjoy another beautiful sunset here in the campo and then this monster storm came seemingly out of nowhere.  I thought it might be a tornado but no, just some menacing clouds that looked like the sky was boiling.  Made for some great pics.

El Chalten is a proper climbing town made famous for two picturesque peaks: Cerro Torre and Fitz Roy.  A few pictures in local restaurant show the village in the 1990s when only the boldest climbers tried to conquer the spiked peaks: it was an empty field with just a few shacks.  Now is bustling with hikers and climbers, and all the hostels, artisanal beer pubs, cute cafes, and climbing shops of any climbing town in the Colorado or Utah.

I had only one day to hike, so I chose the Cerro Torre hike.  Unfortunately, the clouds were low all day and I never got to see the infamous peak.  With 100+kph winds that blew across the laguna at the base of the mountains, the last 50m of hiking was a master class in physical comedy: I sat and watched hiker after hiker stumble like 2am drunkards against that vicious wind.






















From El Chalten I rode down to Calafate to see the Perrito Moreno glacier, passing a lake that was candy blue en route.  Prior to this trip, I thought such colors only existed in the kaleidoscopic worlds of dreams and sci-fi novels.








Argentina has invested well in the facilities, including a series of walkways and viewpoints all along the hill overlooking the glacier.  It is one of the few glaciers worldwide that is still advancing.  It calves all day long and is as impressive as anything I've seen in Alaska or Chile.
