The Andes

Am currently in a hotel in the Andes. I'd recommend the Andes, and the hotel, to anyone. Will post photos once I've decided I want to spend more time with my computer than I do with the Andes. Things I've done:

• Driven 300 miles
• Climbed the highest peak (I cheated - I took the chair lift)
• Crossed one of the highest and deepest lakes in Argentina (I cheated - took a boat)
• Bought ponchos for my kids.
• Bought gifts for various friends.
• Eaten more meat in a week than my stomach has had to deal with in a year. Thank you, Zantac, for seeing me through!
• Drunk excellent wine.
• Drunk lots of Maté.
• Relaxed.
• Relaxed some more.
• Forgotten all those things that prevent me from relaxing.
• Thought about all those people who make those things tolerable...
