"One hundred years from now, as people look back on
our use of this continent, we shall not be praised for our
reckless use of its oil, nor the loss of our forests;
we shall be heartily damned for all these things.
But we may take comfort in the knowledge that we
shall certainly be thanked for the national parks."

~Secretary of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur, 1931

Torres del Paine, check!

So, Anne wrote something for this so=far=all=me blog before we left, but it hasn´t posted. I will investigate. Not now, though, since internet isn´t freee. We´re at the Blue House numero uno in Punta Arenas, after being in Puerto Natales yesterday, after completing The Circuito in Parque Nacional Torres del Paine. Wahoo! Tomorrow we go to Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego, today we´re going to see penguins and maybe a museum, and of course bring a penguin home for Kristen. (does kristen know this blog exists¿) So i´m off. I have a building list of foods I´m craving since the hike, so mom, watch out.toasted bagel with veggie cream cheese, here i come. cereal. salad. milk, vegetables. and chocolate chip cookies. oy. yes, i said it. though its the cookie that i want, bot an exorbitant amount of chocolate. Okay, long story there, but anyways, i must go be an exploratory traveller and see things and do thigns and be here, as that is better than sitting in front of a screen, and that was I´ll sleep for the bus ride tomorrow and the one back in a few days and the 24 hours of flying home.
yitood,
vicki
