Bariloche

I had written a blog a couple of days ago on the hostel computer but then the mouse quit working and then the keyboard failed so I lost it all. Not much time now to write because I`m getting ready for a five day backpacking trip in Nahue Huapi. This week we went rafting on the Rio Manso starting in Chile and ending in Argentina. It was a lot of fun! We got to jump in the water a couple times and flip the raft over (on purpose), the water was muy frio but very refreshing. We have been learning a lot about plants, yesterday we went on a plant walk with Manuel, who has a doctorate in biology and is doing research in areas outside of Bariloche. Today we went on a plant walk with Sarah who is an ethnobotanist and medicinal doctor. Both of them only spoke spanish so some of the information was translated but I could understand bits and pieces. Have to get going now to prepare tons of food for the trip. ¡Chau Chau!
