Mas Patagonia

Buenos Dies, mi Amigos.  The Mayor is down under.  Way down under.  The weather es muy bueno.  Our    delegation is doing well.  Our guide is up to the task.  We are now in the Andes, near Rio Palena, after driving several hundreds of miles on the super highway ^general Augusto Pinochet.  That is Highway Numero 7.  300 miles of washboard, unpaved super highway.  Amazing.  Look out for the cows, pigs, washouts, etc.  What a ride.  Our driver guide did an exceptional job.  Our Ford all wheeldrive performed well .
      We`ve spent 2 days fishing and have done well.  Conditions were near perfect.  The rivers are somewhat low, but clear.  We fished on Lago Yelcho yesterday, and it was beautiful.  The scenary is amazing.  Woords can,t do it justice.  We saw condors floating high over the peaks, riding the up drafts.  Everywhere one looks, there are glaciers, sharp peaks, and waterfalls, even this late in the southern hemisphere.
     Moving on today, for 3 days of fishing on Lago Palena, near the Argentine border.  No internet at our camp where we,ll be camping in a small cabin on the river.
Ciao,
