Hosteria America Ushuaia

... 12 outside of BA and maybe only a couple dollars more in the city. And it is huge and good - most people could probably split one steak unless you are super hungry! Once again, not that different than the steaks in the U.S., but it is very good quality and an excellent price. Also, I suppose empanadas are fairly unique to Argentina, and they are good as well (as I have noted in the past). Overall though, Peru beats Argentina food-wise, at least in our opinion.

... eh quentinho mas sem graca. Estav usando: segunda pela, calca e blusa, calca de caminhada, camiseta de manga comprida, fleece, jaqueta de neve, cachecol, gorro, luvas e mesmo assim estava muito frio, o suficiente pros dedos e nariz doerem bastente !!! Pena que estava totalmente incoberto. O passeio eh muito bonito, o catamaram chega bem pertinho das ilhas de pedras onde vivem e fazem ninhos os cormoroes, gaivotas, "paloms antarticas" e os lobos marinhos. Sao ...

... Boca Juniors, a few goals, many a steak and one in particular with some Arge mates, the ever present busking bands along Florida Street or the ever sexy dancing of the Tango in San Telmo but it is still just a city and being so close to Antartica and not actually being able to go you soon realise that there is so much more. After yesterday walking through the national park and having the privilege of seeing this town without ...

... the lake. The colour was really amazing, a pity it doesn`t come out as well in the photos. I didn`t have time to go see the ice caves up on the mountain under the galacier but I hear they are spectacular also. On my way back I spotted something that looked like shamrock in the distance. Now somebody told me once that it only grows in Ireland. If that´s true them I´m wrong and it´s something else but to me it looks like Shamrock!

... But, this, too, shall pass. We reached Ushuaia and their very new ski-lodge-esque airport. Waited a while for bags - some of the last few off-then found our driver and were off to the hotel. Weather was overcast - a few glimpses of sun - not too cold - a bit windy at times. Checked in at the Lennox, then went for lunch. After, walked down to the pier, then around town. Noticed a lot more "Antarctica" t-shirts ...

... tv with many movies" -At first i blew it off but then later talked with others about what he said. We arrived into my room, he was carrying my pack, which was super awesome. Gives me a giant hug and says welcome to the family mon! Domingo 15/2/09 Walked town after breakfast. Wanted to do Montana center hike but would have had to wait for 5 people before the bus would run us up the mountain. I decided to walk around the port. Then went all ...

... the ship is warm inside but cold outside temps, We met lots of nice other passengers, couple from Iowa, couple from Italy, guy from Pittsburgh, and lady from austrailia and another from Russia are at our table tonight. WHEN we Anacrtica we are going to get a pic with our Cardinal t shirt and the guy between us wearing pit stealers t- shirt. I have excuse for my spelling , try typing with a 20 degees sway.

... to send your bike to in Argentina - another possibility would have been to have chucked them in boat and collect them here, ready to travel up, up, up through the more interesting parts of the continent. But would we appreciate this part of the world as much as if we magically beamed ourselves down and jumped on our North pointing machinery? There is something about having spent the last 6 days covering over 20 degrees of the earth's latitude than allows us to appreciate ...

... partly because we are pretending to be real Argentinians but also because the sun doesn't set until 10:45pm at this latitude (if we were in Canada the sun would be setting around 4:30pm this time of year, what we are getting Canada is not...). After a rainy first day in town, the next morning was beautiful. Our first and only important task for the day was to book a tour to visit the local penguins. We opted for a walking tour where we could meet ...
