Western shore of Lago General Carrera.

Today is spent cycling the western shore of Lago General Carrera, (called Lago Buenos Aires on the Argentine side), largest of the many deep, glacier-carved lakes dotting the Patagonian Andes (roughly south of 39° S latitude). We meet Spanish cyclist Santiago at the hospedaje we are camping at, who is cycling south from Bariloche, and had previously biked with Arnold and Deborah from Seattle. Three Brazilians, who just graduated with geology degrees are also staying here. We stay up late discussing a variety of important topics.   Santiago is an engineer working for the European Commission, which he thinks is doomed to fail.
