don't cry for me Argentina

Carter called last night to announce that he and Steve are flying to Buenos Aires in April to spend 10 days exploring Argentina and a bit of Uruguay. I'm so insanely jealous. Steve somehow ended up with a free airline ticket to anywhere in the world, so they're splitting the cost of Carter's ticket (two-for-one, basically) and going to Argentina. So so jealous.

I'm dying to go to Argentina or Chile, the southern part, Patagonia. Everywhere I turn lately, I keep coming across these spectacular photos taken in Torres del Paine National Park, in Chile, and I just feel like the place is calling to me. Or haunting me. In a good way. In any case, the place looks so beautiful and I want to go.

I just have to keep reminding myself that we are going to Ecuador this fall. Ecuador. Ecuador. More Andes. I love the Andes. Must work on my rudimentary espanol.
