Cyclists come here from all over Argentina and Brazil to bike on the Seven Lakes Road between San Martin and Villa La Angostura; many camped near us in our campground last night.  This is also high season for tourists, but traffic is low with today’s cooler temps.  We stopped at a tea house for tea and cake, warming up by a fire.  An endangered Patagonian Huemul (South Andean Deer) crossed the road in front of us. (and, yes, we are in Patagonia now).  After buying home-baked bread and sweet bread at a scenic overlook we coasted down to a nice campground on this beautiful mountain lake.  Dawn and Jonathan Lewis, and daughter Heather,  from Washington state are our campsite neighbors.  We visited around their campfire as temps dropped into the single digits (Celsius).
