The glacier was really cool. And being outside was absolutely freezing. At first it was raining, but then it starting snowing. But because of the rain and the not-quite-cold-enough temperature, the snow turned to sleet and it was pretty miserable to be outside for long. For the amount of visitors and price of park entrance, the public facilities at the park were disappointingly inadequate. Though there were nice platforms and paths to view the glaciers from, the only lodge/picnic area was crowded and looked down upon eating outside food (presumably to encourage consumption of their nasty-looking and overpriced cafeteria fare). This visitor un-friendly lodge situation added to the misery of the cold rain and fierce wind as the unfriendly cafeteria was the only place to be indoors besides the bathrooms. Happily though, we ran into some friends from our language school in Buenos Aires as well as made a new friend, and the five of us huddled around a little table and passed the time waiting out the rain chatting and comparing who was wearing the most layers (Stephanie and Melanie, each apparently wearing the entire contents of their available wardrobes—think 7 shirts, 2-3 pants, and 3-4 coats/sweaters, won).
