I have arrived safe in El Calafate. Charming little town of about 15,000, very outdoorsy. I found a nice little clean hostel.
Tomorrow morning I take a bus into Chile. They told me at the bus ticket booth that the border-crossing can take as long as 3 hours, so we'll see how that goes.
The bus ride yesterday/last night/today was about 29 hours. Some of the landscape was incredible. We would go 100s of kilometers of absolute nothing. Totally flat on all sides, just us on our little gravel road cutting through the middle of the middle of nowhere.
PS I saw the coolest sunset Ive ever seen. Because it was so flat the colors stretched 180 degrees across the horizon. Very Cool.
