Shorthand Patagonia - Day 4
January 19th
7:03am - alarm goes off.
7:28am - okay, I'm getting up.
7:29am - oh god, I hurt. make breakfast; hello oatmeal.
9:00am - on the trail. first two hours kind of suck.
11:00am - break! it-s a beautiful day and we get to see the glacier and mountains in sun. we giddily dine on apples and peanut butter followed by chocolate and peanut butter. are we going to have to buy more chocolate?
11:30am - back on trail; kicking ass.
1:00pm-ish - arrive at Lago Pehoé! trip to refugio's almacén for batteries, chocolate, fruit, and granola bars. run into Sascha, have him take pictures of us next to trailhead signs, then head out toward Campamento Italiano. 30 minutes in, Gras' new "Falgene" meets a tragic, rocky end when I drop it trying to get it out of her backpack's mesh pocket. it falls on the rocks and shatters impressively; we take a picture. 1 hour in, we stop for lunch with Sascha by a creek; we take pictures. 1 hour and 50 minutes in, my pack is 20 pounds heavier and I get pissed off at the trail that apparently gets its kicks out of not ending. 2 hours in we come to two sweet suspension bridges and arrive at the campsite. Sascha takes our picture; we set up camp. right by camp there-s a rocky beach next to the river, and we lounge on the rocks to gaze at the Cuernos peaks after dressing-up our rock snowman. then we make dinner by the river. father and son pair, Sascha, and a young married couple from the US are in tow, we also meet a friendly group of 5-plus Israelis before heading back to the tent for an early bedtime in the still-light evening.
