el calafate
so far, so good. sunny and warm :) i thought it was supposed to be freezing but i am currently in shorts and a t-shirt! el calafate is a cute little town with a main strip made of low buildings that are lodge-like and homely. the only exception is the casino that just out and is the tallest building. the ubiquitous outdoor stores all look inviting and encourage you to do outdoor activities. it’s really small so walking around is a cinch-just down the steps from the bus staion. if you have an extra day, try walking out of town to lago argentino. this clear blue and green lake is beautiful! looks almost like the waters of hawaii.
contrary to guide books, there are also heaps of cheap hostels! lots of flyers can be found at the information desk along with adverts on poles for ones starting at 30pesos. if you are only traveling by yourself or with another person, i wouldn’t book ahead. the ones on the internet all pretty much start at 45…
