I had a blast last night going out with a bunch of people from the hostel. So much fun, that it made it tough to get up early this morning for the 7 am bus to El Calafate. I'm taking a brief stopover in Calafate today, before going over to Chile to the Torres del Paine national park. It is the closet thing to a major city down here. My guess is there are 25,000 people.
They have a real grocery store, a small airport, and more importantly an ATM. I was down to 10 pesos in Chalten so I really needed some cash! It is a beautiful town with a huge lake and a view of some big mountains in the distance. It is much warmer here than in Chalten. If I had some more time, I would visit the glacier near here and also do this cool looking terra feratta route, but instead I got some groceries, cooked some food, went for a short run, and worked out at a local gym. Today is a day to recharge and get ready for the crazy runs I will be doing in TdP. The hostel I am in is really cool. It overlooks the whole city, the lake, and the mountains. Tonight I think I am going to get one last big parrilla meal in celebration of a great 20 days in Argentina. It is a great, modern, and safe country and blew away my expectations.
