In January of 2008 I went to Patagonia with my mom, brother, step-father and some family friends.  We took a cruise through the fjords of Chile on a re-furnished fishing boat, soaking up the beautiful sights and enjoying an endless supply of fresh mussels and red wine.  Then we went backpacking in Argentina, to see glaciers falling off the side of Mt. Tronodor and eat several cows.
