Welcome to the shire

El Bolson: Land of beer, berries, snow caped mountains, crazy tree carvings, delicious icecream and crazy creepy gnome t-shirts. Basically this place was like visiting the Shire. After the farm it was heaven to be surrounded by fresh mountain air and crystal clear water.

I took this picture of the sunrise from the bus the morning we left the farm. At least the insomnia is good for something.


Perfectly clear shire water. This place was unreal.


The boarder between the Lake district and Patagonia

Basically we sat around the small center plaza taking bum siestas on the dock in the afternoons, eating delicious icecream as an after nap treat and drinking raspberry beer. Perfect little unwind after the farm.

Best beer award: El Bolson Cerveza! Frambuesa is the best!


The slogan of the town was Here the Magic is Natural, hilarious but kinda true...


Look at these creepers, they are everywhere! This pic is from the local crafts market. Booths upon booths of crazy looking gnomes. Where am I?

Annnnnd we finally found a post office! w00t! So if you gave me your address before I left expect a postcard soon!

That magnificent sunrise photo looks like an award winner to me. It will be fun to see your pictures in full screen size when you're home.

Those creepy little gnomes look suspicious to me. Are you sure you and Liz are not on an upcoming season of "The Amazing Race?"

Ah, yes, rasberry beer...the best.
