ESQUEL

The day after our training in Esquel, we took an hour to look at a nearby National Park, nestled in the Andes Mountains.  It was breathtaking!  Here are just a few photos.  It was a rainy cloudy day, but it was still amazing!  This was only a small section of the park.

All throughout the Patagonia Region are thousands of rose hip bushes!  Probably in the spring and summer they are blooming wild roses.  They are truly gorgeous!  Chelsea and I used to love cutting branches of rose hips and making arrangements with them, and Michael and Rebekah love making rose hip tea , so it made me think of our kids!

After spending the morning in the national park, we headed out across Chubut Province to Trelew on the east coast of Argentina where we would pick up Hermano Sosa and then travel to Comodoro Rivadavia and Caleta Olivia and have several trainings.   We had a great drive across this portion of Patagonia.   We had a really fun day.  The scenery was truly stunning with the most fascinating rock formations that we had ever seen.  We arrived in Trewlew just before dark.... after a memorable day we were a little worn out but excited to meet up with Hermano Sosa the next day and head south!
