Last trip to the jungle

Before leaving for Buenos Aires, we returned once more to the national park, this time avoiding the tour bus masses. While hiking a muddy but sparsely-traveled path, we encountered a troupe of about 15 brown monkeys playing in the treetops, including at least three mothers carrying their babies. Down the trail we ran into another, smaller troupe. Amazing what you can see when you're not on a trail with 3,000 other people. I got some pictures. Not sure if any came out well enough to see, but I can't upload from this computer anyway.

We had our first travel hiccup today. As we landed in Buenos Aires, we realized nobody knew the name of the hostel we had booked from Santiago a few days earlier, or had any idea where it was (other than knowing it was in Palermo - Buenos Aires' largest barrio. Fortunately, there was a telecom center with email access at the airport, and the day was saved.
