On The Road Again

March finds me way south of the Mason-Dixon Line.  It's the end of summer in Chile, where my next trek begins.  The actual first stop is Rapa Nui, known as Easter Island, a territory belonging to Chile but located two time zones west of Santiago.  Four days in subtropical Polynesia, then on to a chillier itinerary: Patagonia and the southern tip of South America.

That trip will take me to Buenos Aires for a couple of days, then down to southern Chile for walks on glaciers, hiking in Andean national parks and several days cruising the Chilean fjords and Tierra del Fuego, around the tip of Cape Horn and the Strait of Magellan, more time to explore Buenos Aires and finally a flight farther north for a day each on the Argentinean and Brazilian sides of Iguassu Falls.  I anticipate lots of scenery.
