Perro o caballo?

OK, as soon as we get this virus thing sorted out we will post some pictures of mountains, ridgelines, etc., but in the meantime, I thought I'd share one of the other imposing sights of El Chalten.

Clearly, they grow dogs, like watermelons, bigger here.



Need some scale on that?



Yes, Marty's hand, which is not particularly small, is about the same size as the dog's nose. It's about four feet tall, with a noggin the size of a basketball.

I just love it.

  1. Awwww, look at those giant paws! The dog does not look menacing, no matter what its size.

  2. When we first arrived it sauntered through the restaurant at the cafe/hostel where we were eating and its back was the height of the tables!

  4. Love it! Thanks for the fauna shots (and really, seeing a dog the size of a cow is THE reason to go traveling, isn't it?) along with all those mountain ones. :)

  5. So...OK, I'm into the dog thing. Actually, the whole thing, keep it coming. So glad you are safe, and still enjoying each other's company.

    Take care
