Argentina Beginnings

We this week has been quite an exciting one. We arrived in Argentina in ultimately one of our top 5 most beautiful places we have ever seen. The little town is called Villa La Angostura. It is on a lake at the bottom of a valley of mountains... sound familiar. Well it´s even more beautiful and remote than Sandpoint, Idaho. We never wanted to leave, so we stayed there for 5 days. :) I really wish that these darn computers would let me load pictures! Well, when we get back to Concepcion, we will have our computer again and will load a bunch.

While we were in Villa, we took a ferry ride and saw Venessa Williams and Venus Williams! Totally crazy. Aaron was hoping to see her husband Rick Fox, but he must have been watching a game or something.

We went whitewater rafting yesterday. It was so awesome. We are addicted to it already. We are now at the bus station leaving another lake town called Bariloche. We have been here for 3 days and we are heading to El Bolson. Not on a lake, but on a river :) After that we will go to Eskiel and then Sarmiento (this is for our moms so that they don´t wonder where we are).
