9 Feb 2018 (Bariloche, Argentina): I’m eating chocolate! It’s a thing here because some Italian immigrants back in the day happened to be chocolate makers, and because now the whole city embraces anything that might draw comparisons to Switzerland (e.g. we walked past at least two restaurants advertising their fondue). I don’t love when things […]

Day 34
8 Feb 2018 (Parque Nacional Los Arrayanes, Argentina): We’re hiking through a forest next to a lake inside a peninsula that’s jutting into a much larger lake.

Day 31
