Today dad and I found the greatest road ever to ride! After breakfast dad and I got ready to go see the Moreno Glacier. We started to head over there and released we we on the wrong road. But that didn't matter because it connects up to the right road later on. Anyways we were riding on this gravel road and as soon as we touched pavement it was constant twists and turns for the next half hour. It was awesome. So once our fun was finished we got to the Moreno. And wow what an impressive piece of ice. We got tickets for the next boat ride which was in an hour so we went to the restaurant there and had lunch. After lunch we got on our boat ride and got to see the glacier up close. But not too close because ice is constantly breaking off. After our boat ride we went and hiked around there, staring at the glacier waiting for a huge piece of ice to break off. There were some loud cracks but no destruction of ice. So we headed back to our bikes and met too other bikers on the way. They were just coming to see the glacier then heading to El Calafate. So we told them to check out our hostel. Once dad and I got back about an hour later our new friends showed up. They are from England and their names are Dave and Martin. Anyways it got later and we headed off for New years dinner. Dinner was absolutely fanastic. But i got a little bit of an elegiac reaction to something. But it wasn't a big deal my throat just got a little swollen. After dinner we went to the club/bar right across the restaurant and hung out there for a bit. We decided to head home around 3 o'clock in the morning. HAPPY NEW YEARS!!
