I’m alive, my trip went wonderfully, I didn’t get robbed or harassed, my Patagonian trip mates were wonderful, I ate like a pig (as one should do whilst on holidays), I took an impromptu trip to Iguaçu (northern Argentina) with Gen, I got super good weather and my pictures and videos are slowly coming online on my Flickr account.

As wonderful as it all was, I’m still glad to be home with my man and my pug, being the creature of habit that I am. Three weeks was the perfect amount of time to unwind, get a bit adventurous and miss home.

I will probably write some more detailed summaries of the various legs of my trip (I almost wrote legs of my race – stupid Amazing Race) and backdate them sometime in the next few weeks, but I’ll write a post linking to them so you don’t miss out on them. For the moment, I leave you with this picture of one of the amazing sights that I saw in Patagonia.

So yeah, wow, I’m leaving for Argentina on holidays today. I’m going to visit my friend Geneviève (Gen.V. or Pôle Sud pour les intimes) who is currently doing a semester of law school abroad in Buenos Aires. Geneviève and I went to high school, played soccer, danced, lived in rez and overall acted silly for the last 10 years of our lives together. Should be fun times!

I’ll be gone for 22 days, which is the longest amount of vacation I’ve ever taken at a time ever by far. I guess I’m new enough to the workforce that the concept of paid vacation still puzzles me a little, but hey, I’ll try not to let it get in the way of my enjoyment. Shouldn’t be too hard!

I’ll be visiting her in Buenos Aires for 11 days and going trekking/sightseeing/skiing/showshoeing/boating/glacier-watching in Patagonia for the other 11 days.

To be honest as I’m typing this, a mere 6 hours from my departure, I’m kind of exhausted and probably not as excited as I should be to be leaving on such a great trip, but I’m sure that once I get there tomorrow that’ll quickly change.

Anywho, you can check out a rough outline of my itinerary here. Have a good June everybody, and be on the lookout for a picture flood once I’m back in July! See ya!
