Argentina is Really Pretty

We went on a hiking trip to Patagonia in Argentina in January.  It was amazing.  The scenery was just incredible.  I found my ultimate sport there – walking on glaciers.  I’m short, heavy, and have incredible thigh muscles from the 50 billion hours at the gym I put in.  Thus, I have a nice, low center of gravity that is perfect for glacier walking.  I wish there were glaciers in Pennsylvania.  I’d be a glacier tour guide in my spare time.

If I show you guys really pretty pictures, will you forgive me for being such a crappy, intermittent blogger?  I thought so.

I did it! (I forget what the heck I did, but I did something.)

She's not heavy. She's my friend Diane.

More meat. I haven't eaten enough meat. I need lamb. Cook me up some lamb.

On that last note – don’t go to Argentina if you’re a vegetarian.  You’ll starve and die on a glacier.

    Mount Fitzroy? As in Fitzroy? As in the middle name of both my husband and son? Sweet! You’re forgiven. Looks like an amazing trip!

  3. Your pictures are amazing! Glad you got to take a fun trip. Doubly glad you’re back. :-)

      Why, thank you, FringeGirl! It was pretty amazing, I have to say. Tough on the body, though. A couple of times, aching from head to toe and putting ointment on my blisters, I thought, “Exercise is supposed to be good for you, right?”

  4. I’m a vegetarian with a low center of gravity … now I’m seriously conflicted about Argentina.

    Glad you’re back, Robin. Have you officially changed your name now to the Ice Queen?

    Love that photo simply called “Iceberg”– that’s National Geographic magazine quality.

    BTW, did you spot a “Goldberg” beside “Iceberg”?

    Wow! That’s a great new name! I’m there!

    Some of the pictures look almost fake – like was a green screen in back of us and someone put the scenery in afterwards.

  10. I would love to go to Patagonia! Thanks for the beautiful photos!

  11. Oooh! Really pretty pics! Let’s see–Mexico, China, Italy, and now Argentina. And those are just the ones I remember off the top of my head! You guys really know how to vacation!! Will you adopt me?

    Awesome! I’ve always wanted to starve to death on a glacier, but I’ve just never known where to go.
