Southern most city in the world to Buenos Aires

We spent the last week in Ushuaia, Argentina, the southern most city in the world. We spent a couple of days just relaxing enjoying the views of the Beagle Channel from our hostel then spent a couple of days climbing mountains. We have some funny pictures of us ¨sledding¨down the mountain in our ski pants. We met some fabulous people at the hostel. My stomach still hurts from laughing so hard.

GREAT NEWS! We found a shop that was able to restore about 1/2 of the pictures we thought were deleted. We do not have the ability to upload on this computer but hopefully will be able to upload some pics soon.

we are back safe and sound ...

We had a great time trekking through the Torres del Paine. We hiked 75 kilometers (about 45 miles) over five days through rain, snow, wind and sun. We saw glaciers, mountains of all shapes and sizes that blew us away, caribbean blue lakes, streams and rivers. It was a very challenging and rewarding experience. We have some pictures to post but unfortunately while trying to figure out the settings of the camera Jacob unknowingly deleted the entire South American trip of nearly 900 photos and fifteen minutes of video footage. OOOOPS!!! The good news is ...

• we had plenty of space for the last day of our hike
• we have plenty of space for the rest of our trip through South America and Central America
• the slideshow will be half as long as originally intended
• we don´t have to buy another flash card
• we can now laugh about it

Tomorrow we leave for Ushuaia, the southern most city in the world. We will be there until 10/30 then fly to Buenos Aires for a couple of days then on to Nicaragua.

Love,

Maura and Jacob

Blue skies coming our way ....

Today is Saturday and we are heading to Torres de Paine National in Chile park to hike the ¨W¨which is a five day / four night hike. We should have some great stories and pictures when we return. Pray for fantastic weather ...

A long overdue post ... Argentina is the current location ..

After typing for some time, Maura lost the post on the crazy computer and we were a bit dismayed. We are currently in Bariloche, Argentina, which is aboslutely breathtaking. We will re-update when we are not mad at the computer anymore. We are making are way very south today (Sunday). Our original plan to go by boat in Chile cannot happen, so we will be in a bus for almost 30 hours and will arrive in El Calafate, Argentina. There we will see one of the last advancing glaciers in the world. We will post some new pics soon as there have been some amazing views.
