The wind was very strong in Bariloche.
This seagull was flying as hard as he could.
And getting absolutely nowhere.
So Kerri took roughly a billion pictures of him.
He didn’t understand why.
He’s just a seagull.
Minding his own business.
Soaring majestically.
She is such a strange human.
It’s probably best to keep away from her.
But that would require successfully flying away.
Which he really couldn’t do.
He was basically stationary.
Was he having fun?
Kerri was.
Cerro Campanario is a big hill we climbed.
It has good views of the lakes.
And back at the town.
There were condors soaring around.
But not over the prettier side.
Condors like the mountains.
Not the pretty lakes.
But they also like to eat rotting dead things.
So we don’t trust their taste.
We took a lot of pictures.
It was hard work to get to the top.
And we didn’t want to waste it.
There was a doghouse at the top.
Next to the gondola that the smart people took up.
But we’re not that smart.
This is Bariloche.
From our balcony.
It is very pretty.
The water in the lake is very clear.
The mountains still have snow on them.
The town is on a hill next to the lake.
Some days the wind was stronger and the water got a bit rougher.
This angry bird had a chick but wouldn’t let us get close for some reason.
We didn’t take many pictures in Buenos Aires.
This was a park
This was a bookstore.
That used to be a theatre
We picked up some cash because some hotels require cash.
That’s a bit over $1000 Canadian. They only had $1000 peso bills which are basically $1 Canadian. The biggest bills they print are about $20, but they are hard to get. To pay for a week at a hotel took a lot of counting.
It takes up a lot of space in our backpacks.
The water was still falling.
Foolish tourists were still sailing into it.
The plants were still drowning.
It was still very pretty.
We were still taking pictures.
And getting misted.
The birds were still chirping.

The tegus were still skittering

The butterflies were still swarming around puddles trying to get salt.

But eventually we left and took a picture of three countries. We are in Argentina, across to the right is Brazil and across to the left is Paraguay.
Those rivers don’t mix either, and the division between them is way more obvious than the one in the Amazon everyone gets so excited about.
