My first Glacier

I went to the nearby glacier today called Pastururi. I took a tour, but unfortunately the guide spoke only spanish....well I still got to see a lot of the mountain range in the national park and climb my first glacier. I also tried coco leaves for the first time. They really dont taste as good as you may think. We ate lemon candies along with the leaves..bit better! Also stopped to take pictures of the El pacha (?spelling) and of course was charges one sole...about 30 cents! But I made up about half the glacier with my friend Lloyd, who is a expert mountaineer and guide...lucky for me! I got a bit scared because my feet kept slipping on the ice, and it was a long way down...with only rock to brake the fall. It was actually an amazing hike, and my first time up to 5200 meters! Very slow walking!

Hope all is well at home!
