November 13: Puerto Madryn to Esquel: Paseo de los Indios

After los Altares we figured we wouldn't make any more stops. But at one point we came across a path that led up a hill with some sort of shrine at the top. The kids were asleep so Rubby climbed up the hill to check it out. Turned out this was at Paseo de los Indios. Where the actual town was we weren't sure but Rubby enjoyed the panoramic view before coming back to the car.


Car! (a rare event on this drive)


Rubby climbs a hill to check out the cross at the top.


It's hard to tell from a distance what the rocks spell out.


But Rubby was able to get a good shot... "Paseo de los Indios"


Contemplating living room colours again... indian red, olive green and wheat grass ;-)


From the top of the hill Rubby gets a great view of the Chubut river and some roads... no sign of the town though.


View back down to the highway we're driving along.


Another view of the meandering river... must be a farm or something in the distance.


Cuando los problemas de la vida no parecen abrumadores siempre es util mirar al nuestro alrededor y ver las cosas con las que se enfrenton los demas. Veras que debs considerarte mas afortunado de lo que te imaginas.
(When problems seem to overwhelm your life it is always useful to look around and see the things which others face.
You'll see that you are more fortunate than you think.)


And with that piece of advice, Rubby comes running back down to the car. ;-)


View back up to the cross from further along on the highway.


And we continue our tour of amazing rock formations across the country.


This formation looked like sand art.


Still no sign of a town, but there's the cemetery!


A ribbon of highway...
