Hola! Feliz Años!
Spirits are up and things are wonderful. Its almost 1 AM, so there isn´t much time to write but I wanted to give a quick update. We are currently in El Calafate, the home of Perito Moreno glacier, a 120 sq kilometer glacier (roughly the size of the city of BsAs). It is one of the only "stable" glaciers in the world, meaning it loses and gains mass at an equal rate. It has remained the same size for 8 years. To ring the new year in right (and because visiting this glacier has been a dream of Abby´s since she was a kid reading her National Geographics), we did a mini ice trek today on the glacier. It was so incredible and so humbling. Even though it was pouring rain and we were soaked through and through, we loved every minute of it. In fact, I am not sure I have ever seen Abby smile so much. What a treat! I can not wait to share pictures with you all.
Tomorrow we pack up and head to El Chalten, another small town about 3 hours north, where we will check out the amazing Fitz Roy range and do some hiking/trekking around the area.
Hugs!

I'm not too sure they were telling us the truth when they said the glacier is "stable". Perhaps "stable"=900 turista Aps
