A Day in El Bolson & Lago Puelo (Tues 2/9)

Stats:
- hosteria breakfast of cookies & cakes
- lunch of churos filled with Dulce de leche
- 2 hour walk
- 30 minutes of bike maintenance of which 20 minutes were trying to straighten Deborah's warpped rotor

During the night, I, who sleeps like the dead, was woken up by howling winds and pounding rain. Our morning started with -- come on, you know where this is going --- rain!  We finally made our way to an Internet cafe and Arn worked on loading our photos to the Internet. I will post a link when I have it. 

After 90 minutes, we emerged from what felt like sucking the Internet through a straw to find sunny skies!  This is shocking but true. We decided to find a bus and head out to the national park called,  Lago Puelo.  We enjoyed a couple of hours of walking in the park and taking in the views of the lake. The wind howled a bit, but the sun was out and it didn't rain. Don't laugh but we had moments of riding in the rain while we could still see our shadows. 

Our weather forcast continues to look good for tomorrow and beyond. We are hoping that perhaps summer will arrive. We are also hoping that the traffic dies down. At some point, perhaps we will be too far south for all the people on holiday from Buenos Aires.  So, our plan is to head out again tomorrow. We will be going to Lake Epuyen.  It is also a national park. We wil in touch...from wherver we end up in the coming days. Keep your fingers crossed for us!
