January 28 - Off to El Calafate

Hi:
I have a half hour to kill before I hit the bus, so I can do a short post.  I never got my Curanto last night, but the meal was good.  The restaurant was obviously a favouite of the locals as they trouped in and out all evening and many knew each other.

First photo.  This is of my B&B , Erratic Rock 2  (Erratic Rock 1 is a dorm style hostel downtown).

It's a nice place, good breakfast with lots of hot water.  It's a 5 minute walk downtown or to the bus depot.

Note the baskets out front - garbage cans.  The owners fill them up and the municipality empties them.  There was a garbage truck working the downtown streets at 930 pm last night.  Many of the stores do a split opening, with a mid day closure between 1230 and 3 pm.  I presume the point of these baskets is to prevent dogs from spreading garbage.  There are still lots of dogs all over the streets here.



Gas prices:  In Canuck pesos those translate roughly to $1.73 a litre for regular (93) to $1.78 for premium.  Diesel is cheaper at $1.40 a litre.

Time to head for the bus.
