Our time in Patagonia

Written By: Dad typing from my notes – Nov• 20•11

We had a really good time in a place in Patagonia called Chalten.The first day we came here we went out to eat dinner and after our parents let us have an ice cream.

The next day we climbed up a hill with teachers from Chalten and they were P.E. teachers. After we walked about 50 metres, my brother Alvaro and sister Aida ran into some mud. We climbed a tall log and got to the end of it. Then we crossed a big rock with a cave and then we climbed the rock. The rock was as big as the biggest rock in the world.

When we got to the top of the rock we saw that there was some mud and grass on top of the humongous rock. When we looked down we saw the grass far below us in the forest. We heard a lot of birds singing and leaves rustling in the trees that were far in the distance of the green forest. We hardly smelt anything in that forest which was strange because there are normally a lot of smells in a forest. When we looked down we could hardly see anything.

When we went back down we played five games of hide and seek. Then one of the teachers went back home and we went home with the other one.

The next day we went to El Chorrio del Salto which is a waterfall and when we went there the sight was amazing. It was as stunning as watching one hundred games of football. We tried to walk back home but a car kindly took us back home because it was a three kilometre walk.

The weather here was really windy and cold but I feel good because it feels like I am back in London.
