Rio Grande

Here we are in Rio Grande. The guide book said it was a very quiet town and boy are they right! We are staying just a block from the beach which is cool, but I seem to be dreadfully allergic to this place (are you noticing a pattern here? I am allergic to all of Argentina, I swear...) so I am seeing it through itchy, watery eyes. Still, even with clear eyes, Levi assures me there really isn't that much to lay your ocular sockets on. Ah well, a good day to rest and do laundry etc. while we prepare for our trip up to Puerto Natales where we will be "doing the W," that is, going on a 4 day hike through the mountains of Chile. Should be pretty cool. In the meantime we are waiting for low tide here to take a walk on the ocean floor because, apparently, they have one of the lowest tides in the world- 5 km out!
