We had never visited the glaciers in the south, so this was a big treat for us too!

We take mom and Aunt Hazel for a traditional “Parrilla” lunch, the Argentine tradition of grilling meats on hardwood grills, they bring whatever you like and we grunted and pointed at some really fantastic cuts of pork for more!

We bought some brandy and would play cards in the evening before dinner.

Not a bad meal for being at the bottom of the world!

Our last day was a “free” day so we visited a local museum, we took “Semour” with us and took some more pictures for the class in Michigan.  Semour has been having a great time so far in Argentina!
