The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

There were a lot of birds in El Calafate.

Some were doing yoga.

Downward dog is hard with wings

The birds were pretty.

And they knew it.

The white ones and the brown ones are usually together.

They can fly

Like most birds.

There were red bellied birds

I don’t know what they are

And I’m too lazy to look it up.

These are flowers. I’m not sure why Kerri put them in the bird post.

This is also not a bird.

This is a bird.

The lake in El Calafate is a really pretty turquoise colour.

The lake at the back, by the mountains, not the one in the front.

Unfortunately it’s really hard to get a picture of.

Because from most places it’s just a sliver of lake on the horizon.

And if you get close to the lake the turquoise is still a tiny line on the horizon.

That disappears entirely when the island is in the way.

It’s narrow even if you zoom in.

When you get up higher it’s wider but not as bright.

But it’s there if you zoom in.

When you get way up it covers more of the lake.

Matt made Kerri climb really high but you could barely see the lake from the top.

El Calafate is a town near the mountains.

It is named after these berries

It reminded us of Lethbridge

Being in the foothills

And very windy

And cold

And dry

But it was pretty

They also had an imported Douglas Fir to make it feel like home.

But there weren’t many natural trees around

They have a big glacier museum in the middle of nowhere.

They also have a wooden slide.

Which is an even worse idea than a metal slide in the sun.

It is a pretty town.
