Sea Lions

What a day! We work up to room service (breakfast of our choice with all the trimmings) - we love it! Then it was time to hurry up and wait (LOL). It took forever to disembark for a tour of the Valdes Pennesula, a good distance from Peurto Madryn where we were docked. We just returned from a long day on the bus, but were definately rewarded as we saw many sea lions and elephant sea lions. The were enourmous and playing on the beach. The road trip included seeing sheep and guanacos (a wild llama like mammal) out on the plateau. There are no trees because of the very limited water and high wind. We could easliy imagine that we were in west Texas - minus the mesquite trees!

We are now back in our stateroom unwinding (some of you know how we do that). We will head to dinner in a few minutes. The food has been wonderful so far so our hopes are high for tonight's menu considering we had a box lunch on the bus. The internet is so slow we are sorry but posting pictures is not likely.

  1. You went all the way to South America for it to only look like west Texas? You won't have that problem when you get to Antartica!
