San Martin, in northwest Patagonia, is known as the gateway for Lanín National Park, home to the Lanín volcano, which reminded us a lot of Mt. Rainier in Washington state.
- Playing a little golf at Chapelco, the Jack Nicklaus designed course.
- Gauchito Gil is a folk saint in Argentina. Little red shrines dot the road. This one is likely thanking GG for surviving a near deadly car accident.
- A new Nat’l Park! That’s the Lanín Volcano in the background.
- Just try pronouncing this one.
- What a glorious day with a lake smooth as glass. We were the only ones there.
- At 12,293 ft., this mountain is darned near as tall as Mt. Rainier.
- Argentina produces only 5% of the world’s wool. Very happy sheep, though.
- This little foal looked like she was in trouble so we watched her for a while. Just napping.
- This is a throwback! In Argentina, they pump your gas AND wash the windows.
Nice!
