Guillermo sent this Friday afternoon:
We caught our bus at 8:00 this morning and we are now back in Chile in Puerto Natales. It is cold and rainy here, and on the way we went through areas that had a lot of snow. Tomorrow we are going up into the mountains where it will really be cold and the snow will be deep. It is likely that we will stay in a shelter up there for a couple of days, so there will be no Internet. Fernando wants to try to do a couple of 8 hour hikes, so that is what we will be attempting.
As we came into Puerto Natales, we saw a lot of geese and black necked swans. We haven`t done much else today, with the bus ride and the weather the way it is. We have walked around in the town some, but it is prertty miserable outside.
I don't know if I will be able to write you later today and I am almost sure that I won't be able to write for the next couple of days, but I just wanted to let you know how things have gone and you can tell Nena I read her comment on the blog and what I said in my email last night still stands!!.
What he said in his email last night was: I will read the blog tomoorow, but I can just imagine what Nena has to say, but you can tell her I would still put my money on the one wearing the skirt.

When threatened by a predator, Tolypeutes species frequently roll up into a ball. The North American Nine-banded Armadillo tends to jump straight in the air when surprised, and consequently often collides with the undercarriage or fenders of passing vehicles.
I will let diablillo tangle with the the one wearing the skirt first, and by tha time that little skirmish is over, the Energúmeno's teeth will be worn down to soft little nubs, just like the armadillo's. By the time he gets to my shoes, his bite will feel like a soft little sponge!
I see you agree that Energumeno would come out the winner in the little skirmish you refer to. His teeth may be worn down to nubs, but the armadillo got it worse. What's more, he doesn't need his teeth to teach you a lesson. He can use his dense mass to knock you off your feet and shower you with his soft, sponge like nubs.
Quite the contrary!! Victory has not been conceded to the Energúmeno. The skirted one would think diablillo was simply being nice and scratching his back. He would ooh and aah with delight upon feeling diablillo's teeth scratching and caressing his back, and once the Energúmeno't teeth were worn down to soft little nubs, what would he have left? Nothing, because even though he is quite corpulent, his mass cannot compare with the skirted one's, who would also still have very powerful claws. No chance for the Energúmeno to come out on top!!!
