Payne in Paine today

I went to Torres del Paine today. The highlight was to see floating blue (icey blue) iceburgs of various shapes (like ships or Barney the dinosaur). One particular piece was about the size of a dinghy and was banging up against the shore which was cool to see. Cool because of the movement of this big block of ice the size of a canoe, bashing around like an ice cube in an oversize drink.

The glacier lakes and rivers were interesting because they were of different shapes and different colours depending on which part of the glacier was feeding them.

We also went to a huge oversized cave carved out from a lake, as well as a bunch of snow peaked mountains.

I saw the tour with 8 others. A father and two sons and 2 young couples from Puerto Arenas. I mostly talked with Jaime and Carol one of the couples as well as the father. Tomorrow I am going with the father and two kids to El Cafate in Argentina tomorrow.
