The boys and I took a day trip to Perito Moreno glacier near Calafate. Andrew had to stay at the hostel and work. We wish he could have been there too. We made a new friend Caroline from Belgium who just finished a two year assignment in Columbia working for Red Cross International in conflict zones of Columbia. She had many stories to tell. She also was kind enough to share her lunch for one with the three of us who arrived without food!
We spent the day walking around the glacier and took a short boat ride along side of it. We got to see and hear the glacier calving into the water which was very exciting. At first the five hours of watching seemed like it would be a long day. But the long stay had its rewards. We saw a lot of action and were able to observe the glacier as it changes. Perito Moreno advances 2 meters each day!
