I guess to some degree I felt obligated to take the long rough road down Route 40 towards Chalten and Calafate. The two day journey was a long one that just seemed like it would never end. About a day and a half of the ride is unpaved, meaning very bumpy. Most of Patagonia is step. There really is nothing for miles upon miles but the wind that blows through the land never seems to take a breath. It´s just a constant hard gust.

After a long 10.5 hour flight with no sleep, I made it. I met some interesting people on the flight over. I sat next to an Argentinian named Fredrico who too was a musician. We shared music on the way over and talked about what we do. It turns out that he was in the middle of composing music for a movie by a famous actress in Argentina, Norma Aleandro. He introduced to a friend of his who so happened to be on the same flight. I forget the guys name but he was visting Broadway to check out some shows. Apparently he is going ... read more
