Phoenix to Houston to Buenos Aires, then on to the bottom of the world. The day we left, and the post that started this blog.
Buenos Aires - A Sensory Splendor!

Just finished checking in to the Hotel Sofitel, which is a beautiful property with lovely flower arrangements throughout.
Another wonderful day in B.A.

We did some shopping and looking on Calle Florida, a very popular and elegant street of shops where it is advised to "take a look, but buy elsewhere." Let's just say there were lots of colorful characters...

Believe it or not, they actually DO have Internet at Helsingfors. You can't always count on the accuracy of information in Argentina.

Tuesday afternoon after lunch we went trekking with our guide Martiniano to Estancia Los Hermanos (The Brothers Ranch), which is the nearby Ranch owned by the same owner of Helsingfors.
Glaciar Alfredo and Laguna Azul

Today is the most magnificent day yet. We trekked 16K (10 miles) with our new Italian and American friends to Laguna Azul, a small glacial lake high in the Andes.

We are doing four posts tonight to catch up (too much fun and activity!) So if you just began reading our blog with this post, you may want to start with the "Buenos Aires" post for the rest of this post to make the best sense.
Trifecta in Calafate!

Three excursions, one day! We are determined to eek out every last drop of adventure from this trip. We have only one full day here at Los Notros, so we made sure and filled the day.
Long day, good day - Torres del Paine
December 13, 2008 · Bev Amoth
Once again, the beauty continues. We had to get up early this morning (Saturday the 13th) to be taken to Torres del Paine (TDP). The good news is that we had a private driver in a very large 15 passenger van all to ourselves.

Torres del Paine is fantastic. We can't get over the beauty and abundance that we get to experience. So, a little layout of Explora Lodge: it is a magnificent lodge in the Park and everything is included.

Wow! Visiting and trekking in amazing surroundings is one thing, being able to meet some fantastic people along the way: priceless.

Well, I have just a couple more stories I need to share in order to wrap up "Carl and Bev's Great Adventure." We are home now but we had a couple of last days with, again, some stories.
