Church at Bariloche (Carl)

On Sunday the 18th, we joined the congregation at Bariloche for their morning service. Worshipping in Spanish takes a lot of effort, with occasional questions to Rachel about the meanings of soon of the words. I managed to get enough of a vocabulary to basically follow the sermons, but it takes a lot of concentration. The service was about 2 hours, with communion at the end.

We were invited to go out in the afternoon and we spent some time travelling around the lakes and seeing some amazing sights. We also discovered just how strong the wind can get as it comes off the lake, whipping up dust storms and vapour from the lake.

We drove through the 'Swiss Settlement' which reminded us of the different cultural heritages across Patagonia.
