Strangers from around the world when we first met, how could we have known how well we would all bond during the trip. Every great travelling group needs a name and we were no exception. A couple came to mind - the Calafate Cucarachas and the Patagonia Pumas. The former name came about as in Ashok's words "we keep going back to El Calafate".
