perito moreno

we bought tickets today! to rio gallegos, and from there we can take yet another bus to el calafate, where we can see glaciar perito moreno, which is one of two moving glaciers in south america. i´m not sure what a moving glacier really means, but i guess i´ll find out in a couple days.
i did not realize that argentina is so big. huge. the bus to get to rio gallegos is 24 hours. wow. and we were on a bus 16 hours or so to get to where we are now. so we´re leaving sunday evening for rio gallegos. til then, we´re going to go on a brewery tour and drink lots of wonderful cervezas. and also go to a hill to see wood carved by artists. and maybe another hill. hills are a big deal around here i think. we were going to see a bird museum that has 100 stuffed birds, but decided that the money would be better spent on food because buses are sooo expensive and taking up a considerable chunck of money. today we´re going to pick farms to go to on our way through central america! i´m excited about that. also a bit nervous. i get nervous every time we go to a new place and have to find accomodation and food and everything. not like i think we´re not going to find those things, i think it might just be a bit of anxiety. anyway, i´ll for sure write about the beer tour and the glacier. i think those will be my highlights of the next couple weeks. oh and also, the town we´re in has mountains on both sides. i have some pictures. but it might be a while because it takes forever to upload...
