TWO WEEKS!!

I've only got two weeks left!!

Today we went on a little trip to see the Andes mountains. It was really cool.... they're a little different from the Rockies. We only went as far as Portillo, a ski resort, and the Laguna del Inca. If you look it up on a map or on the Internet, you'll see that we were actually really close to Argentina. I think with mom and dad we'll go a little further. I've heard that there's a giant statue of Christ a little higher up. I'm also thinking about maybe crossing the border to see Argentina. 

La Laguna del Inca .... Portillo

I sent pictures, so you can see a little bit what it's like. We're still in Fall, so there isn't a whole lot of snow yet, but my companions from Peru, Colombia, and Costa Rica wanted to see snow for the first time in their lives. The funny part is that we got there, got out of the van, and when we stepped onto the first snow we saw, I said "This isn't snow, this is ice." That part was man made, and rock solid... haha. 

They played in the snow that wasn't man made and said that it almost reached their knees. I think they were exaggerating....  haha. It snowed about two weeks ago, so the snow wasn't exactly fresh. But they got to play in the snow, and that was what mattered. While they tried and failed to do a snow man, we ate lunch. Haha.  

 

In the man made snow

I'm looking forward to getting home and seeing you all.

Nos vemos pronto!!
