January 10, 2010 In an incredibly luxurious boutique hotel called La Sireneuse. Very romantic. On Tuesday hiked for seven hours on glacier Perito Moreno. On Wednesday hiked seven hours in El Chalten. On Thursday hiked ten hours in El Chalten, including a difficult trek up to the base of Cerro Fitz Roy to see the Laguna de Los Tres Madres, a glacier fed lake. Blustery, rainy conditions, very challenging. It made getting to the lake feel special. When we finally got there, windblown and chilled to the bone, Courtney and I huddled behind a rock and ate our cheese and lettuce sandwiches, washed down with some of the clearest water I've ever had, fresh from the glacial lake.
Friday we traveled to Bariloche, and yesterday we walked around the area where we're staying. Fabulous meals here in Bariloche, great wine. This is the romantic part of the honeymoon. Fluffy robes and puffy duvets. Champagne, cherries, and a jacuzzi. How nice it is to be pampered.
