Santiago (Wed 4/7)

Well, today's breakfast was a new experience --- room service!  That is how they do it here.  It is actually a nice change to sit in our own mini-apartment and enjoy breakfast and the view from our window.  It has been a slow day.  Arn says we should try and soak up the heat as it is not going to be this warm at home for a while. 
 
Here was the rundown for the day....
 
- Breakfast & internet
- Packing (I am ready to GO HOME)
- Two workouts (his and hers) on the exercise bikes in the gym
- Showers
- More internet
- Lunch (another great salad and pizza)
- Movie: The latest Mel Gibson thrill....skip it, unless you are killing time
- Watched episodes of 24 from our DVR at home
- More internet
- Dinner...we returned to the same Italian restaurant. 
 
Now, there is a danger in revealing this itinerary because some people ask us, "what is your typical day like?"  Let me tell you, this is not our typical day.  In fact, the last 3 weeks have been extremely different than our typical life experiences.  At first, I think Arn went a bit crazier than me.  Then, I turned into the caged animal.  We have enjoyed some awesome food and great wines. However, we are lacking in physical activity.  And since leaving El Chalten, we have missed the company of fellow cyclists. We are just ready to get on a plane and suffer the journey.  If only one could click one's heels and be transported!
