El Chalten – Not Again – Part Two

I decide to cut my stay one day short. I’m learning to go with my heart instead of making excuses to suffer through an experience I don’t feel like having. I’ve done enough of that in my life that I’m dropping this bad habit. 

Before heading out I grab some breakfast. A 20 minute desperate walk around town for some eggs because I can’t look at another pastry for breakfast. I finally find a cafe and end up meeting à lovely French couple from Paris. We talk about our travels and my time in Colombia. When I get ready to leave another couple there stop me. They are also French and heard me talking about Colombia and since they plan to go they are interested in my experiences there. I urge them to go and tell them how wonderful it was and show them photos. They are one month in to 6 months of traveling through south America and have just started their travel blog. I just love meeting other people who have decided to see the world like I am, for months at a time. Makes me feel more and more accepted for what I’m doing.

I have to cut the conversation short to make my bus. Luckily I was able to change my ticket with no fee and get another seat. I end up sitting next to the exact same people I was next to on the way to El Chalten! They turn out to be from Calafate and we have a lovely chat.
