Bleak town to Lovely town

Same car over cliff as seen below. This shot sort of shows how far down he's gone
Approaching El Calafate

The bus is coming up the road we'll be going down
This car went down the road, literally. When we stopped to take photos of the scenery we noticed it way down the slope. I think it has been there a while, we saw no bodies.

An Emu, as promised earlier. He is between the road and the sheep fence. He can't seem to figure out where to run and hide.


Rio Gallegos to El Calafate - 190 miles
Mac and I rode to El Calafate this morning to rejoin the group. They were all tired and a littlew busted up after 5 days of rough off-road riding. One bike damaged beyond repair, several other falls, two sprained ankles and one sprained knee.

Our hotel here is directly in front of a modern hospital. I got another anti-inflamatory shot and have two more scheduled for tomorrow. They seem to be helping somewhat.

El Calafate is a tourist town, done tastefully. It has spectacular blue ice glaciers as a backdrop and they lure travellers from around the world. I'll probably do a day long boat expedition the day after tomorrow. Then its off to Torres del Paine in Chile.
