Our trek north has but one road out of here up Highway Three to Rio Grande and then we take a left turn at San Sebastián which is a gas station at the end of the asphalt. There is a gravel road to the northern tip of Tierra Del Fuego where Chile and Argentina meet but we will cross the border at San Sebastián.
It has been a pleasant three days seeing Therèse and Bernard and we went out to dinner to celebrate the January birthdays of the two women who have known each other for 50 years.
Photographing food around two French people whose lives are not dictated by social media might be “un peu gauche” but I did snag my main course, Argentine beef,
…and pudding which was less the parfait advertised and more an ice cream.
…while Rusty waited on board.
We drove them back to their hotel where we parked to spend the night at the waters edge.
The airport to the right and the town in the distance.
We drank the Armagnac Therèse had brought from France and waited for darkness. Sunset is at 10:15 but it takes ages to get dark and even at midnight you can see streaks of light in the western skies.
In the morning the van was warm and I was ready to walk Rusty which was just as well because by the time my tea was brewed the skies were going black and a twenty mile an hour gusts were honking out of the southwest across the channel.
The weather is variable all right around here. Vicious might be more accurate. I’ll be glad to get far enough north I won’t need long pants anymore.
