Day 2


I do not know the name of this mountain, but after hiking 21.6 kilometers on day 2 (Valentines Day) we set up camp at the base of this spectacular mountain.
Throughout the night we could hear the sound of what seemed to be thunder from the tent, but we found out that this noise was actually avalanches falling from the glacier capped mountain. Such a powerful mountain!!!

I also forgot to mention that Jon, Lisa, and I were also traveling with a German guy named Fredd. Fredd is 20 years old and is in Santiago for a year, fulfilling his German service requirement. We met Fredd at a Hostel in Punta Arenas and he was looking for people to camp with in Torres del Paine.
