    Just wanted to give a quick shout out. For those that don't know I am in Patagonia Chile for the next few weeks. Currently I am in the town of Punta Arenas, Chile visiting friends from when I used to live here. Later this week we are going to hand out on one of their ranches thats over 15,ooo acres and then heading to Torres Del Paine in the Andes Mountains.

    I have been updating pics in my Fface Book album daily with pics so if your not my friend then friend me.

    Actually, shouldn't it be warm since it's summer time in the southern hemisphere? But then again, it is also pretty far south... Now I really wanna know if it's cold or warm.

    even after I asked about the weather, I did some digging. at 10am or whenever it was, it was 50*. That's not bad at all

    Finally made it back to some form of civilization as I have spent almost the entire last week without electricity or any form of technology while traveling throughout Patagonia. I am now back in Punta Arenas for the next two days and have updated my Facebook page with a ton more pics.

    Fri we fly back to Santiago which is in N. Chile and will be driving from there out to the beaches of Vina Del Mar and Valpariso for some much needed RnR in the sun since its summer time there and mid to high 80's.

    Take care,

    Nice Doug. Glad you are enjoying it. The faces your daughter makes in the pics has me laughing hard. She's silly.

    Yea, she is awesome and only 3 so is still learning the whole smile pretty thing.

    I am really glad she is old enough to make the trip with us, I only hope she will remember some of it as she gets older.
