We were walking back from a Jenga-fest / sausage cookout at a friends house. It was cold and windy. Rumor had it a cold front was moving in. Possibly bringing more snow. The sun found a gap in the clouds and “stripped” for us.

A LITTLE CALIFORNIA IN ARGENTINA
Malargue, Argentina reminds us a lot of Bishop, California. It’s clean, tranquil, at the base of massive mountains, and the place offers an abundance of outdoor activities. Climbing. Biking. Fishing. Skiing. And happily enough for us… tennis. No surprise here… the residents of Malargue have most active and healthy lifestyles of any place we’ve encountered in our adventures.
ANDY’S MOUNTAINS
I don’t know who this Andy guy was… but they sure named some damn impressive mountains after him. Another interesting observation: the snow is so dry here that we’ve seen a foot of it disappear in less than two days… with barely any of the usual muddy mess.
STILL CHILLY IN ARGENTINA
MALARGUE: CHIVO CENTRAL
Every March this place hosts the great Argentinian national chivo (goat) cookout. Last March they cooked over 1,200… in one day! They say you can smell it from twenty miles away. Requiring special security just to deal with the dogs.
CHANGE IN THE WEATHER
You may have heard it’s cold in Patagonia this time of year. We can officially confirm it!
