El Chalten: Medialunas, Empanadas, y Nubes

I have only 10 minutes to write this, because internet here is expensive. So I will keep this brief.
I arrived here in El Chalten on Sunday. Situated at the base of the iconic Mt Fitz Roy peak, this is a really small, expensive, and rainy hamlet. One street with lots of puddles.

I would like to say the mountains here are magnificent, but due to the weather, I have yet to see them. Also, I was unable to find a bus north until Saturday, so I will be spending almost a week here.

Now, for the good news, the weather should be clearing up today and tomorrow, so my chances of seeing the only thing there is to see here are increasing! Yeah! Also, camping is free and right outside of town, so I am saving a great deal of money by not hosteling. Yeah! Also, a handful of people I met previously on my trip have ended up here in town, so I know some people. Again, yeah! They have a brewery here that has the best beer I have had yet in South America, the delicious empanadas (meat filled pastries) are ubiquitous and cheap here, and I eat a half dozen medialunas a day (croissants, really). So, I am doing just fine here. I guess I would probably rather get going sooner rather than later, but I am patient and having a good time, so its all good.

Altight, gotta go. The clouds are starting to finally break, so I need to go find this shy bastard of a mountain. You all stay cool, Stefan
