This week I got an email from Javier from Buenos Aires. We met Javier and his wife, Andrea, in Torres del Paine National Park. We shared a room in the Torres Central refugio.
Javier and Andrea arrived in the park that afternoon, did the entire (7+ hours round trip) hike up to the base of Las Torres, and returned to the room past 9pm ready for a much-needed, good night’s sleep. Unfortunately, Kevin’s snoring kept Andrea up most of the night.

Javier sent me this photo that he snapped of us after we met on the trail the next day, as well as a few other great photos from their visit to the Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentinian Patagonia and Iguazú Falls.

Thanks for the travel inspiration, Javier and Andrea! Next time we meet in a refugio dorm room, I’ll bring you ear plugs!
Friend Friday is a series where we feature stories about people we’ve met on the road or friends with interesting travel stories of their own.
