“Si te veo de frente, de perfil, de espalda, de arriba, de abajo. En fin, de todos los puntos de vista posibles. Si te veo ayer, hace un rato, ahorita mismo, mañana temprano, dentro de diez años. Todo simultaneamente y en el mismo lugar. Literatura. Pensamiento. Simple especulación, de ésa en la que está apoyado el mundo en el que nos desenvolvemos cotidianamente. El que gozamos y por el cual sufrimnos. El que nos da de comer. El que suponemos que gira, gira, gira.”
Sobre Borges o El porque de una esfera, RES, 1996.

He’s pretty good I guess.

Peninsula Valdes, Argentina
Península Valdés is home to the endangered southern right whale as well as orcas, elephant seals and southern sea lions. Unfortunately it was the wrong time of year to see Orcas but we came at the perfect time to see southern right whales! At one point we saw roughly 20 whales displaying and bashing their tails on top of the water to attract females. A local we spoke to said if you’re lucky you can see up to 80 whales all at once!
On the way to Peninsula Valdes we also drove past a replica of world’s largest dinosaur which was found in northwest Argentina (discussed in a previous post). It was about 40 metres long and 20 metres tall and weighed 77 tonnes! It absolutely dwarfed ours and our friend’s Delicas!

Bosques Petrificados de Jaramillo National Park, Argentina
The petrified tree forest was a really special place. ‘Bosques Petrificados de Jaramillo National Park’ is the second largest petrified tree forest in the world, the trees are 150 million years old. Some of the remains are up to 2 metres in diameter and 30 metres in length and belonged to trees that were 100 meters tall. It reminded us that the human race is still so new in the history of the earth. We learnt about how the trees fell and became petrified, in a nutshell - volcanoes in the Andes erupted and covered the forest in ash, the weather was so extreme and the winds so strong they caused the trees to fall. The ash created an air tight seal therefore the wood does not decompose, however mineral rich water entered the trees and replaced the organic structure with silica and other minerals, thus creating petrified wood. We found this fascinating and we were humbled (and a little scared) to learn of the earth’s natural cycle of extreme weather conditions and the trail of destruction it leaves in it wake.

The road to Ushuaia
The road to Ushuaia through Punta Arenas Chile and Tierra Del Fuego was a bit cold and dull at times but we also got to see some King Penguins and a Shipwreck along the way! We love wildlife so we really enjoyed watching the penguin colony. You can see part of the sea is frozen which just shows how cold it can get there!

Perito Moreno Glacier, Argentina
This glacier is not to be missed when visiting Patagonia. It is 250 km2 and is 30 km in length which is hard to grasp when you see it. It is also one of the most active glaciers in the world moving up to 2 metres a day.
We watched huge chucks of ice calving from its front, it was hard to visualise just how big the chucks were but we guessed the size of a truck, maybe bigger!

Cueva de las Manos, Argentina
The Cave of Hands was definitely a highlight in Argentina. The name speaks for itself but it is essentially a lot of negative prints of hands in a series of caves stretching for 100s of meters. There are also painted scenes of hunting and various other depictions. Each set of hands and animals tells a story, they were drawn by the hunter-gatherer communities 13,000 - 9,000 years ago. We were absolutely blown away by how old these painting were and one of them has 6 fingers!
I also had to add the dinosaur footprint we found and the view from one of our campsites. The world’s largest dinosaur (a herbivore) and the largest carnivore were both found in northwest Argentina. The largest dinosaur was about 40 metres long and 20 metres tall and weighed 77 tonnes! That’s about 14 african elephants…WOW! The picture of the footprint is not the same dinosaur but it is still at least 240 millions old! We loved trying to imagine the dinosaur running through mud and creating the footprint right in front of us. Crazy!

Son las tres de la tarde y corro por la calle de mi casa en Salta buscando algún negocio abierto donde me vendan una caja de preservativos. El barrio entero parece haberse convertido en un gran mercado chino donde hay hasta tigres que pasean como perros entre la gente, menos un negocio donde me vendan una mísera caja de preservativos.
Mateo me espera en mi habitación, logré convencerlo para que se quedara después de unos besos que le robé, y ahora temo que no me espere y se vaya si no consigo el artículo en cuestión,todo esto mientras esquivo a unos niños que corren con galletas de la fortuna entre las manos.
Mateo me espera en mi habitación, y realmente fue una situación forzada lograr que se quedara. No quería hacerlo para nada, tampoco besarme, pero yo terminé rodando en mi cama con él en brazos insistiéndole que me amara un rato más. Conmigo arriba, no pudo resistirse más y me dijo: “me encanta verte así”. Y fue en ese momento, cuando -decidido a cogerme sin más reparo-, le pregunté si tenía forros. Me dijo que no, así que salí toda apresurada a buscarlos.
Fue en vano porque no los conseguí, y en plena aflicción preservatoriana, desde una esquina y entre faroles de papel rojos con símbolos chinos, pude divisar a Mateo yéndose en bicicleta.
“Un traidor es un miserable cuando pretende la gratitud de aquellos a quienes favoreció su traición. Pero los traidores que obran desinteresadamente, sin otro propósito que el de satisfacer su necesidad de traicionar, consiguen ser confundidos con idealistas.”
(Si alguien conoce donde puedo conseguir “Los asesinos de los días de fiesta” de Marco Denevi en formato pdf, le agradecería me lo haga saber vía TWITTER o comentando este post).
