Pictures finally

Sorry this took so long... I tried to put at least one picture from each of my trips and I naturally got carried away with the Patagonia ones so there are lots of those. This would all make more sense if the pictures were next to the post that describes them, but I suppose if you really want to the joys of technology allow you to go re-read things that I wrote a long time ago. They're also in reverse chronological order, which is annoying but also a hassle to fix (sorry). Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this mini-view of what I have been doing and I'll be sure to make it a habit from here on. About the people: Catherine, my roommate, is from Sudbury, Mass and goes to the University of Richmond; Erasmo (Memo) goes to UC Irvine and is from Riverside, CA; Kela is from Denver and goes to Chapman in LA; Harris goes to American in DC and is from Virginia; Ben is from Milwaukee and goes to BC; and Steve is from Wakefield, Mass and also goes to BC.

In front of Cerro Torre and Lago del Torre where we ate lunch (hiding behind a hill and some rocks to escape the ridiculous wind)

Climbing on the Perito Moreno glacier!
