El Bolson is a tiny gem of a town tucked away in the valley. I am so glad I came here instead of Bariloche. I flew from Buenos Aires to Bariloche and was goign to spend the night there and come to El Bolson later. Bariloche was beautiful with the lake and all but the city was lacking something. It reminded me of Niagra city and I took the next bus out of there to El Bolson. Its a small town with a really small center and mostly just campgrounds and cabins and with easy access to the rivers and lakes and mountains in the area.
Staying at Refugio Patagonico and I love it here. It´s in a campground close to the hills and they have a really nice large kitchen which inspired me to cook some type of lentil and eggplant last night. Turned out so well am going to cook again tonight. Going paragliding in a bit.. we´ll see how that turns out. It´s so beautiful out here I cant stop repeating myself : )
Tomorrow I will raft or boat down Rio Azul... its going to be awesome. I wish I could stay here longer but have to make my way down to El Calafate.

update: the paragliding was pleasant in a very surprising way. as much as I enjoyed the ride, I dont think I would go again. Like my land too much. water too. the rafting was Awesome. Rio Azul didnt have too many large rapids but was interesting enough and extremely pretty. I also got to snorkel which was really cool even if it was only for all of 10 seconds. Floating rocks. : )
