El Calafate

El Calafate is a town near the mountains.

image

It is named after these berries

image

It reminded us of Lethbridge

image

Being in the foothills

image

And very windy

image

And cold

image

And dry

image

But it was pretty

image

They also had an imported Douglas Fir to make it feel like home.

image

But there weren’t many natural trees around

image

They have a big glacier museum in the middle of nowhere.

image

They also have a wooden slide.

image

Which is an even worse idea than a metal slide in the sun.

image

It is a pretty town.
