Chocolate Shops and No nuclear zones

Just about to pop on my night bus to Puerto Madryn, but thought I´d update first.... was in Bariloche until yesterday morning, doing a bit of hiking but a lot of laying on the beach (lake) eating chocolates that I dreamt about during all of Peru and Bolivia, where everything available tasted like soap. Will likely add about 5 kilos as a result, but sort of feel like it would be worth it :)

Caught the bus to El Bolsón, a relatively new, totally organic bohemian community in the middle of the lake district in Argentina. pretty cool place, and managed to check out the market in the morning, and have also managed to visit the ice cream place about 3 times already. Seriously, being deprived of comfort foods for months at a time can wreak havoc when you are unleashed. Off to get a bit of dinner before finding where my bus departs from (was given a random address instead of an actual bus station) and then it´s onward to puerto madryn for some wilderness spotting and welsh tea houses.

Hey there sweetie,
I can't believe that only 2 weeks from now you'll be home!!! I keep running into/talking to people who are also sharing the countdown - Popo, Emily, Allison, Sarah, A. Laurie, A. Sally, etc. I get it that you are sad to see it all end, but you can console yourself in the knowledge that a mere 25 days later, you'll be leaving AGAIN!!
btw Donna is pretty sure she can get you a job at the pepper greenhouse for 3 weeks and if so you could ride your bike back and forth. Just a thought.
Hope to catch you on MSN soon, but I have to have a minor kidney procedure 1 day soon, so I am not sure how well I am going to be feeling. We'll see you soon!
love you and miss you,
Mom XOX
