Day 16. Calafate

While having a great and welcoming time in El Calafate with Ceci (my kindergarten old-time mate) and her always happy husband Diego, we were honored with a classic Sundays big family ASADO, great meals and lots of spoils. Really nice after the hard time we had by ourselves in the south :).
So Ceci took us to see the Perito Moreno Glaciar, this amazing big block of ice, sort of a frozen river flowing from the top of the Andes Risks into a lake to create a dam that splits it in two and once in a while offers a great show when crumbling, it's a must. There we stopped to stare at this great piece of ice and drink a few "mates" y "facturas", our fixed menu for lunch.
Then we enjoyed the freezing wheather to stroll around the Roca lake to have our "merienda" and try to make stone hopping on the lake's surface, none of us got more than 2 hops.
Tal made new friends, Homero and Fatiga (Homer, Fatigue), a cat and a dog, Ceci's, both trying to get the most of your attention and food. Both as lazy as you can find.
