Saturday:
We flew from BA to El Calafate, which is in the southern part of Argentina. We stayed in a great hostel that was full of backpackers. We ended up having dinner with a friend of my sister's who happened to be traveling through El Calafate with her boyfriend (Meredith and Patrick). Small world story - Ben, who I am traveling with, grew up 5 minutes from Patrick in Los Angeles. Of course they never met in LA, but ran into each other in the southern tip of Argentina.
Sunday:
Ben and I did an all day boat tour on Lago Argentina, which I believe is the largest lake in South America. The weather was very wet and cold and it only stopped raining for about 10 minutes all day. Regardless, it was an incredible trip and we got to see glaciers that are larger than the city of Buenos Aires. We were also lucky enough to witness several huge pieces of ice breaking off from the glacier and crashing into the lake below. It is an incredible site. Sunday night we met up with Meredith and Patrick again for drinks and dinner at a fantastic place that was half book store and half restaurant/bar.
