Near El Calafate, Argentina

We have returned to glorious Gloucester after traveling 23,676 miles from home to Santiago, Easter Island, Tierra del Fuego and a large part of southern Patagonia as well as Buenos Aires and Iguazu Falls. It was an extraordinary adventure and an outstanding learning experience. I plan to put together several short photo/video posts featuring the highlights of this trip which I will post here on GMG.

For today, here is a portrait of a gentleman of Basque heritage who operates a small cantina on the lonely road between Torres del Paine National Park (Chile) and El Calafate in Santa Cruz Provence, Argentina. This location struck me because of the ‘aloneness’ of the setting, the gentleness of the proprietor and his family, and the stark beauty of the steppes.
