Something I´ve learned

Greetings!

I was in Patagonia a a while back. I spent half a day walking through Tierra del Fuego National Park. It was a amazingly serien place. The day was beautiful yet mysterious. There was a misty haze that prevailed over the park as if the sky was sending out a warning. We were three people who didn´t heed the threats and meandered along the deserted trails. It did rain but nothing feirce. It reminded me of the showers we have on the Oregon coast. It is a dusting of rain that you almost don´t notice falling on your until you are quite wet. I find it refreshing in the right circumstances!

A silence fell over the group I was hiking with. I think the mysery of the day begged for introspection. I began to think of my many experience over the last seven months. The many experiences at times interweave themselves into a tapistry that will be finished in approximately 5 more months. What a beautiful peice of artistry!

Upon thinking of all the places I´ve been. I couldn´t help but thank the Lord for the many ways this experience has been a blessing. One of the things I´ve learned from traveling is that on your journeys you will either find the place on this planet where you belong or you realize the reason why you call the place you left home.

I know now more than ever where where home is and I am so thankful for that!

On the road again

One of the churches I walk by almost everyday


In one of the malls in Buenos Aires they have toothbrush and toothpaste dispensers in the bathroom! Yeah for good dental hygiene!! :)

Now I am headed out on the road again....

After a relaxing week in Buenos Aires I am on the road again!!! :) I am leaving tonight for Salta. It is a providence in the north of Argentina and should take approximately 20 hours to get there. I don't have a specific plan at this point. Mostly get up there, see what there is to see, make some friends, take as many amazing photos as possible, and round up some adventure. woooo hoooo!!!!! :)

It sounds crazy but I really enjoy the long bus rides. Wide squishy amazingly comfortable seats that lay almost all the way down. They play movies, serve you steak, and all together pamper you for 20 fabulous hours. :) Only thing I need to take care of is my ipod is fully charged and that I have a pen and my journal available.

I understand there is a lot of great natural beauty in the North of Argentina! Right on sign me up! :) I'm not totally sure of the availability of the internet so I will update when possible! :)

If you read this and saying prayers for me. Please pray for my safety on the road and also that all the details of the Spanish course I want to take in August all work out. :) Thanks a million!

Tumbling on....

What a wonderful world

Our world is an amazing place! Recently I had the opportunity to visit the Perito Moreno glacier near El Calafete Argentina. It is one of the most awesome and captivating natural wonders I've encountered in my life. I snapped a million photos and found myself not being able to stop. I will have to give more details later about my trip to the South of Argentina. :) For now here is a photo ... :)
