• Bariloche

    This is Bariloche.

    image

    From our balcony.

    image

    It is very pretty.

    image

    The water in the lake is very clear.

    image

    The mountains still have snow on them.

    image

    The town is on a hill next to the lake.

    image

    Some days the wind was stronger and the water got a bit rougher.

    image

    This angry bird had a chick but wouldn’t let us get close for some reason.

  • Buenos Aires

    We didn’t take many pictures in Buenos Aires.

    image

    This was a park

    image

    This was a bookstore.

    image

    That used to be a theatre

    image

    We picked up some cash because some hotels require cash.

    image

    That’s a bit over $1000 Canadian. They only had $1000 peso bills which are basically $1 Canadian. The biggest bills they print are about $20, but they are hard to get. To pay for a week at a hotel took a lot of counting.

    image

    It takes up a lot of space in our backpacks.

  • O-Loop Day 6

    Day 6 was also rainy

    image

    But at least it was mostly flatish

    image

    Matt was still unimpressed

    image

    So was Kerri, but Matt was too unimpressed to take pictures so there is no evidence of that.

    image

    The glacier got further and further away

    image

    But you could still see it with a zoom

    image

    It was bluer than the sky

    image

    It was also very windy

    image

    This is not Lago Gray

    image

    But it is a lake

    image

    Huh, Matt did get a picture of Kerri

    image

    Toward the end of the day the sky got a little blue

    image

    And then more blue

    image

    But not in the direction of the famously picturesque mountain

    image


  • Have we Mentioned that the Water was Falling?

    The water was still falling.

    image

    Foolish tourists were still sailing into it.

    image

    The plants were still drowning.

    image

    It was still very pretty.

    image

    We were still taking pictures.

    image

    And getting misted.

    image

    The birds were still chirping.

    image[5]

    The tegus were still skittering

    image[8]

    The butterflies were still swarming around puddles trying to get salt.

    image[2]

    But eventually we left and took a picture of three countries. We are in Argentina, across to the right is Brazil and across to the left is Paraguay.

    image

    Those rivers don’t mix either, and the division between them is way more obvious than the one in the Amazon everyone gets so excited about.

  • More of the Other Side of Water

    This is water.

    image

    When gravity pulls it it moves down.

    image

    When it reaches a cliff it falls.

    image

    This attracts large quantities of animals known as tourists.

    image

    Scientists still don’t know why waterfalls attract tourists.

    image

    It seems to have something to do with cell phones.

    image

    Cell phones can make the waterfall look sharp

    image

    Or blurry, without so much as a tripod or filter

    image

    But they’re basically just faking it.

    image

    Which takes all the fun out of it.

    image

    But that doesn’t stop Matt.

    image

    Blurry.

    image

    Sharp.

    image

    Blurry.

    image

    Sharp.

    image

    Blurry.

    image

    Sharp.

    image

    I just want to remind everyone this isn’t Kerri’s fault.

    image

    This is all Matt
