And so I waved good bye to my Chinese duo and boarded the bus to El Calafate. The great thing about Argentina is that you're always sure to run into someone you've already met on a leg of your trip. You're effectively never alone. And so I did at the rest stop midway between El Chalten and Calafate. I had the pleasure to spend a bit more time with Yongho, the super young Korean lawyer, and his wife over a couple of empenadas, a doughy pastry filled with meat. They were the young Korean couple we met on the Big Ice excursion on the Perito Morino Glacier. They stood out then because of the girly pink punchos they wore to shield them from the unpredictable Patagonian weather (I have the greatest candid picture of these two). But what had more of an impact is the fact that while we all brought a sandwich of questionable taste, these guys had bento boxes with sushi and all. I was just drooling of envy. Eating too much meat does this to you after a while.
Well with an afternoon to spare I'm going to visit this lake near here which I'm told is a refuge for many species of birds (i.e. flamingos, etc.)

where there's bird there's fish. Go fetch some from the lake and make your own sashimi as dinner. Wait, only if you can find wasabi and soy sauce as well. :)
