My fish, originally uploaded by jdtaylor.

So I thought I would share the biggest fish I caught in Patagonia, a King Salmon. So it actually was a King Salmon, and wasn’t that big, but the only fish I caught. Oh well. My buddy who’s a fishing guide, Otter, dropped it and broke its neck, oh and that’s his ugly foot in the picture. Patagonia fishing is …

Panqueque and me, originally uploaded by jdtaylor.

My new found friend in Chaiten Chile. You see about 6 weeks ago while I was sleeping a dog stole one of my sandals (Chacos) rendering the other one useless. So I disliked dogs, or as I prefer to call them, ´the squirrels of south america´ until about a week ago. Then cam along Turbo the Dog (no picture yet) who …

Off the west coast of Chile is the island of Chiloe. The geography reminded me of North Carolina with rolling hills bu tthe beach was much larger similar to Oregon´s coast with large cliffs dioving into gigantic waves. I am now in Peurto Monnt saying by to Ira. He is heading out tonight back to Montana and I will be heading north to Santiago for a few days. All is well here in South America, especially since the three days of rainign stopped today finally dry …

Buenos Aires, originally uploaded by jdtaylor.

This photo is of the Japanese Garden in Bueons Aires, a very beautiful part of the city. In general I loved this place. I could easily see my self there for a year or two. However, it was a bit loud (trucks and buses) and the air was pretty bad. But we shall give it a few years and see how …

Antartica, originally uploaded by jdtaylor.

So two days ago I returned to South America after a trip to Antartica. A wonderful experience and a beuatiful place. This picture is of an Iceberg with a mountain range in the background. To the left of this picture was thousands of penguins. I got a bit sick of seeing the penguins on land, they are a bit dirty and get …

My initial plan had me trekking in Torres Del Paine for 9 dyas; however, my leg is pulled and a backpack on for 9 days would be very uncomfortable. Thus, I am in Ushuaia and am boarding a boat for Antartica today. Flexibility in both life and your muscular-skeleton is neccesary. So don´t forget to stretch and always allow plans to be changed. I should be going around Cape Horn sometime tomorrow morning and then across the Drake Passage to Antartica a 400 mile gap …

The southernmost city in the world. Or is it. I am currently residing in Ushuaia at a hostel with an Italian/Argentinian who is a big fan of Canada. A plus since I am traveling with a canadian. Puerto Williams is further south, but some consider it merely a town. This place at one time was home to the native Yamana people, but became a penal colony for Britian in the early 1900s. It stays relatively warm here all year with a record low of …

This is the Moreno glacier named after Francisco Moreno an explorer who never found this glacier. Its about 60 meters high, around 200 feet. In this picture I am about 3/4 of …
