We just had 2 exhausting days of hiking and wildlife watching/chasing. Yesterday we ended up hiking and rock climbing for 7.5 hours. It was insane. We got to the lake and it was freezing cold. Well, not FREEZING, but I didn´t want to swim. We made a fire and Alejandra and Catalina swam. Then James, Griffin, John, Rachel, and Felipe jumped off a cliff over 20 feet up. After the lake we hiked around climbing rocks and general looking around.

Today we piled into 4 trucks and drove to the Argentina border. We saw flemingos and nandu (like a emu or ostrich). We caught a baby armadillo. Pretty much the normal routine around here.

This is James´ blog. He just graduated from college in Kansas and is here volunteering for 6 months. As of now he has been here for almost 4. http://goingsouth09.blogspot.com/

I don´t know when we´re leaving here. I guess tomorrow night or Monday, but we haven´t been told anything. We will be near the Argentina border though, working on some native seed collection.

  1. Molly, just talked to Laura Bush and Joe Madison at church. Joe has been to Patagonia and knew exactly where you were and how the park got started. Laura told him to check out your blog. He wants to talk to you when you come home.
    Stay warm....take lots of pictures. Aunt Linda loves reading your blog too. I think it reminds her of herself at your age.
    Love,
    Mom
