Farewell To Patagonia!
We´re getting ready to go to the airport to travel to the Galapagos. Last night we had our farewell dinner with our tour group.
Last Group Picture
We had dinner in a private room at our hotel in El Calafate. When we arrived, we saw a slideshow of pictures that one of our tour leaders, Melissa, took on the trip. They were great photos of both landscapes and people.
After a tasty dinner and some of that fabulous Argentine red wine, our tour leaders Irene and Melissa said some really nice things about all of us and the trip, Dave showed some of the pictures he has taken, and I sang “I´ll Be Seeing You”, which I thought was an appropriate goodbye song. 🙂
We had an amazing time in Patagonia, and we made many new friends. Dave and I have met people on every trip we´ve been on. Usually, we find one or two that we bond with and keep in touch with afterward. This trip to Patagonia is different – we plan to keep in touch with everyone we met. Such a warm, friendly, interesting group of people. And they have our blog address now, so, I´ll officially welcome Irene, Melissa, Alex, Cathy, Rainer, Joy, David, Laurie, Jim and Donna to our blog.

Hi Meredith and Dave,
We loved your pictures and your “blogette” of people pictures. It was indeed a great group and the adventure was awesome.
Your bad news was the unscheduled overnight in Lima. Ours is that the 300 Yank audiologists we first encountered at Perito Moreno glacier ended up coming to the same hotel we are staying at in Bari Loche. Yikes!! They are swarming all over the place!
Have a great time in the Galapagos.
Dave and Laurie
Dave – you should load up on your special “Sir Fart-A-Lot” hot sauce and give those audiologists something to really listen to!!
Meredith
Great idea, Meredith, but I’ll need several bottles, there are so many of them!
Laurie, Rainer and I are sitting in the you-know-where right now (it’s 7:30 pm). This hotel has a Happy Hour with 50% off on drinks. Yippee!!
