Im I still in South America.....??



Ok, so this blog is about Bariloche, Argentina. It was a very interesting little town, and is known as the sister city to aspen, and rightfully so. It was like stepping into a different world. The scenery was incredible, as we were in the lake district of patagonia, and the town had a very swiss alps feel to it, there was even a bunch of saint bernards walking around with those little bucket collars with the red cross on them. the town over looked a large lake and mountains, and the view from our hostel was really good too. Oh yeah, the town is also known for its chocolate and jams, which was easily understandable.... i have never seen such massive chocolate stores in my life, and ohhhhh delicious everything look. I was constantly walking around salavating. Alright so other than the good food .... oh yeah i tried wild boar, and it was quite nice.... anyways, other than good food and nice views, we decided to rent a Car.... a volkwagen Gol.... not a golf but yes a gol. It was a great little car that we ended up beating the shit out of from driving like 6 hours and a dirt and rock road, but it was worth it. We drove south through the lake district and back north on this dirt road seeing cool wild life like roadrunners, abnormaly large rabbits, huge hawks, horses, cows and sheep. When i drove back in the morning on the is road the hawks had masacared like 5 rabbits.... pretty crazy. oh yeah we slept in the car over night and nearly froze to death, but apart from that it was good.
