To my (2-3) loyal readers: Pardon the blogging hiatus! For the past two  weeks I have been traipsing around Patagonia--both the Chilean and  Argentinian side of things--hiking, climbing, backpacking, and doing  much hosteling (many interesting stories there, just ask). I say  with absolute confidence that Torres del Paine National Park is the most  beautiful patch of pristine wilderness I have ever seen, and I feel  very fortunate to have witnessed it on foot. Hopefully 70-year-old me  will refer fondly back to this post before going in for knee replacement  surgery. Though I returned a little bruised, blistered and nearly down  one toenail, I also came back with many memories and, of course, some  pictures...take a  look!
 The crew, minus our faithful Eagle Scout (photographer).
 Yes, this is real.
 Valle del Francés.
 Someone really should have told me buffs are meant for necks and not heads. (#nomirrors, #campingproblems)
 Striking a pose by the lake.
 Yes, this is also real.
 Look at those clouds!
 Quintessential Torres del Paine.
 ...And not 10 minutes later, it snows!
 Sunrise hike.
