Paine Grande

Is this possible? I´m in Torres del Paine - a national park in Chile at nearly the bottom of the world, and I'm posting to my blog. We're staying at Lodge Paine Grande, on the shores of Lago Pehoe. We can see the Cuernos out our bedroom window. The lodge is a wonderful oasis in this "wilderness". Truth be told, we have been constantly suprised at how civilized this place is.

Tomorrow we go to Punta Arenas, which is the beginning of the end of our trip. We have had absolutely fabulous weather. We have seen all the mountain peaks and glaciers, survived all the hikes, trekked the ice and ridden the horses. All that is really left is to see penguins and then we're done.

Gavin wasn't feeling so well for the first few days, but was able to do and enjoy everything we had planned. I have felt just fine. I had a little sore throat yesterday, but nothing seems to have come of it. I think we could both go for another month here, easily.

I have wonderful pictures to show when we get back. Seriously, we've had GREAT weather. :)
