Dec 1-Dec 16
My last two weeks in London we’re amazing, sad, stressful, nostalgic, and full of excitement. As I began to realize I would be leaving London soon, my initial reaction was happy anticipation.

I flew to Patagonia on Friday morning (3 am :S) and spent 2 days in El Calafate. Patagonia is absolutely beautiful! I have never seen a landscape like that…
