After spending a couple days in Tierra del Fuego national park, I'm back in Ushuaia. I'm alone again, having dropped of McKenzie at the airport a few hours earlier.
I took the van back to town and, still dirty from the park, starting looking into information about flights from here to Buenos Aires. The next flight left in a few hours. Without any hesitation I bought a ticket, and in a few minutes, off I'll go. It's not that I'm uncomfortable in Ushuaia -- it's just time to go now. I'm looking forward to being in a big city; it should be an interesting change of pace.
I am somewhat sad, though, to be leaving Patagonia and the outdoor lifestyle. Over the past two months, I've spent about a week's worth of nights in beds and the rest in a tent or just on the ground. It's been a time of avoiding crowds
and enjoying beautiful sights. Living outside is nice, especially in an area as amazing as this one. But, fall is coming. The weather is changing, and I'm ready for a change as well.
Next time I write it will be from much farther north.
