I'm back!

After shaving off my Jewish neck beard, taking a shower (daily showers are overrated...weekly seems to do just fine at removing films of sweat and dirt), doing a serious load of laundry, I am back from my 3 week tour of Argentine national parks.

I made it to 9 national parks. The basis for my vacation was a goal I set about to accomplish: running at least 10 km in every national park in Argentina. So I camped, ran a lot, climbed mountains, and never got tired of the intense and majestic beauty of Creation. It's so varied and wonderful! The mountains, rivers, lakes, and stars that I saw I hope to never forget. I'm sad that I'm back in this big city, but it's time to start back at school on Monday. So here are the parks I made it to (with various awards given)

pictures (not all of them) are coming soon...

park with the most penguins...

the most remote park (with lots of Europeans with tripped out Land Rovers)...

my favorite park to run in...

the park most near the end of the world...

the largest park and coincidentally, the highest per capita pot smoker/hectacre park...

easiest park where you can run to the Chilean border and slip into the country illegally...

most awe inspiring park...

most remote park out in the middle of nowhere...

foggiest park (by far)
