Seth's February Travels

Hi All!
Just back from my month of travels in February. I spent a week each in Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro and backpacking in Torres del Paine in Southern Chile. I'm really excited to finally start the semester this week. I unfortunately didn't bring my DSLR to Buenos Aires but here are my favorites from Rio and Torres. All the pictures are on my facebook and most are on my flickr which is www.flickr.com/photos/sethdcaplan

Cheers!
