Snow Day

Saturday we decided to make the most of the cold weather and head up into the snow. It's the equivalent of August here and even in this northern part of Patagonia, it's unusual to have snow. We spent 25 minutes on a bus, 10 on a gondola, 10 on a chairlift, and there we were, at the top of Cerro Cathedral - well, at least as far as the lift would take us. Cerro Cathedral is the big ski mountain in the area, I believe it is about 7000 feet. We spent a few hours romping in the snow and enjoying the views, then had lunch in the lodge - where you could just imagine the wealthy Latin American elite snowbunnying about in a few short months. Hard to believe we were cooling ourselves with a wade in the lake just a week or two ago. Afterwards we headed home for late naps, then out for a little family dinner in town. We're studying a lot this weekend and trying to make up our minds about next steps.

Don't have much time to tell more, but enjoy some pictures of our snow day on flickr.
