the latest from John Gillis

life's the interruptions...
... last night i spent in an abandoned guard tower on the atlantic coast of patagonia in a town called rawson, and woke up to sunrise and unsurfably large waves.... today i walked around with penguins all day and they made me smile like a child... i still have to go to piedrabuena and visit the patagonia company guy's personal land, rio gallegos, rio grande, usualla, a four day trek in torres del paine, glaciers in el calafate, and a 3 day trek in el chalten to mount fitz roy.. then pass a night in santiago with my chilean girl, one in mendoza with my mendocina, then grab my luggage and get to buenos aires by 21:00 on dec 22.... it's not gonna happen.... which stresses me, but when you're living on the cheapest pasta possible and sleeping in a tent partially made from trashbag plastic, things are good... look forward to ripping back in the states... i'll call ya when/if i get home!
