While the rain has cleared, we still decided to take it easy today and prepare for a two-night hike starting tomorrow (so it will be a few days before I report back).
I went for a walk around the ‘burbs this afternoon (and by afternoon, I mean around 6 pm because the sun won’t set until 10/11 pm) chasing a shot of the icing sugar mountains that wasn’t obstructed by powerlines. I eventually found this beauty of a view:
On the way, I also enjoyed the amazing and varied shapes of the houses. I can only imagine how adorable the set ups inside might be.
My other indulgence (the first being mozying around town enjoying the shapes of houses) was a whole lot of trekking prep cooking, while listening to some great music. I whipped up a mexican mix with brown rice to the tune of Tom Misch’s ‘Beautiful Escape’ (thanks to Josh for the introduction to that song), a pasta dish to the sound of Hi-Lo Jack’s ‘Wasted Time’ (thanks Simone) and hard boiled eggs to Django Django’s ‘Pause Repeat’ (thanks Spotify).
Going vego for a few days is probably sensible after our time in Argentina’s red-meat-heavy diets (sometimes accidental – I thought I ordered a beef pizza yesterday and instead it was ‘beef as a pizza’ with beef as the pizza base).
I’ll next write with news of Laguna del Caminante and the Paso de la Oveja!
