San Martin de los Andes, Argentina

San Martin de los Andes - a little european-looking village on the edge of a lake surrounded by snowy mountains. Honestly! More stone and log architecture in a gorgeous setting at the end of a long, narrow lake surrounded by steep, forested hills and snowy mountains.
And more walks to lookouts with views of stuff. We walked through some wooded hills and an indiginous (Mapuche - the ones who chased everyone off 'til the late 19th century. And incidently still causing trouble in Chile at the moment, roadblocks, shooting at trucks, general hassle) village to a little beach on the lake. Photo of a house surrounded by a sturdy fence, Karl's picnic lunch at the beach - a half a cow between two slivers of bread.
Photo of the lake with some ominous clouds. We've had sun, rain, wind, sleet, snow and sun again in the space of about 20 minutes. Karl has to stop every 5 minutes to take off or put on various items of clothing depending on the prevailing conditions. Photo of me just taking it easy on a hill overlooking the town. Photo of a poor little boat that's been blown aground from the lake. Some of the biggest waves we've seen (including the surf towns in northern Peru) have been on lakes (lakes!) in Patagonia.
