Wow well we have so many more stories to tell but so little time. We lived in a hippi town for a week and hiked the mountains in el bolson, took a 33 hr bus ride to el chalten which had no A/C, no leg room, and broke down on the side of the road. We hiked to the top of mountains in the Glacier National Park just to be blown right back down by rain storms. We ice climbed on Argentina´s largest glacier, which was one of the most beautiful places we have ever seen. We withstood hail, sleet, icy rain, and 70mph winds. We survived a flooded tent and puddle jumped our way to higher ground. Finally we have learned to respect the extreme weather changes of the patagonia and have learned to enjoy the small things in life, such as when the wind stops blowing for a brief second...
We now reside in el calafate the southern most city of the glacier national park. We have rented a car and head south to the Perito Moreno Glacier at 5am in the morning ( thats about 2am for people in nashville). Please pray for us to survive the gravel roads that take us there and back, traffic is crazy here.
We start our journey home on the 19th when we fly from el calafate to Buenos Aires. After spending the night in the BA airport, we head to lima, then to Costa Rica, and then to Miami on the 20th. On the 21st we catch a bus, then a hour and 45min train ride to West Palm beach, then we catch a flight to Tampa, and then finally arrive in Nashville at 12:30pm.
Its been an amazing adventure. We all have stories to tell and pictures to show. Thanks to everyone that has kept up with us and prayed that some day we may return. We all hope to see you soon.

Hey guys - sounds like you've learned a lot about nature on this adventure - it's awesomeness along with its might. We are anxious to see you and can't wait to hear more details and see lots of photos. Our prayers are with you as you drive those dangerous gravel roads - keep a watch out for those crazy drivers and whatever else comes at you and during your long flight back to the states. Maybe you all can catch up on some sleep on the flight back filled with sweet dreams of the past amazing weeks. You haven't been forgotten here but as you guys may have forgotten some of us work and go to school fulltime - we don't have all that leisure time that you all have had as you've been out playing for over a month!! LOL OH TO BE SO LUCKY!!!! We're still excited for you and hope your remaining time in Argentina is fantastic!!

What a awesome adventure you guys were able to experience. I bet the 70mph winds on the glacier will chill your bones for the rest of your days. I guess the rose petal wine was one of my favorite descriptions. The zip slide or whatever the name for the ride down the mountain on the cable must have been exhilarating! You guys have a safe trip home.
Hey Robert and Friends,
Now that you have your feet back on American soil, I can relax and post a comment.
Thank you for sharing your awesome adventures. I have enjoyed reading your blogs and viewing your pictures. I have to admit seeing you sliding through the sky with no end in sight made me smile and thinking of you being so far away was a little scary. But most of all just knowing you were brave enough to fulfill this dream is
"Totally Terrific!"
I am so proud you are my nephew.
Welcome Home :o)
