Home safe and sound

We arrived home yesterday after smooth flights from Buenos Aires (via Dallas). We'll post a few more thoughts and pics from the last half week in Argentina. The biggest challenge -- believe it or not -- was getting pictures off my iPhone and onto my laptop. The regular camera battery died at the worst moment -- right as stunning Mt Fitz Roy came into full view on our Friday hike.

Anyway, it took an hour to figure out that I needed to clear some "ghost" USB device plug-ins from the laptop (I guess I now know you should wait for those "safe to remove" messages) and reinstall the iPhone USB driver. I'm still not sure why it started working. I followed the same steps on a comment board and it magically worked the third time. No chickens were sacrificed, but we were close. I've learned not to question these small victories. More soon!
