We’re sitting at the Rio Gallegos bus station, just off an 18-hour bus from Trelew and still another 4-hour bus-ride from our destination of El Calafate. Our bus ride taught me that Patagonia is a lot of nothingness; desert scrub, guanacos, sheep, rabbits, rheas, and flamingos. Another thing of note is that we’re as far south as we’ll be on this trip. Any farther south and we’d be on Tierra del Fuego. From here, we’ll pretty much be travelling north until we get to California- kinda strange to think about.
