Pale friends and hitting the road

My friend, J, arrived this morning. Looking pale.

Another friend in Seattle, K, sent a picture of some friends. They, too, are pale.

Am I insufferable to mention, again, how tan I am?

Though, you can be reassured. There is a massive storm (tormento) due tonight. It is only in the very low 70s (F) today. Much different from the upper 90s (F) last week.

Tomorrow, J and I will go to the travel agency and buy our tickets to go south. First stop, Barriloche, aka Swiss German Village, and former home of a prominent former Nazi. Then, El Calafate: home to some Very Large glaciers, including one that is shedding two meters of ice per day (Petito Moreno). Then finally, Ushuaia, aka the tip of the world. The only thing further south than Ushuaia is Antarctica. It will be cold and rainy there, and I'm looking forward to the change in weather -- I will actually be able to wear the one sweater I packed, and wear jeans without them sticking to my legs from humidity and sweat. Yipppeeeee!!!

I should post again before we leave. However, be assured that I am fine. I will write a couple posts along the way, as there are i-cafes everywhere.
