... mountains. It started raining just as we arrived at the visitor center and restaurant, so we enjoyed a great lunch with a great view! Then we caught the bus back to town and spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing and enjoying the small town before our final meal in the town.

... disse que estava fechado no inverno. Como fica longe, desisti.<br><br>Na lista das atracoes importantes estava o Museo Maritimo y del Presidio. Caminhei umas quinze quadras embaixo de chuva ateh lah, tentando chegar para a visita guiada. Valeu a pena porque o guia realmente agregou muita informacao. O museu contem uma parte dedicada a navegacao no Canal Beagle e ä Antartica e outra ao presidio mesmo. Esse museu fica dentro do predio onde funcionou o ...

... to a bus that tells us $50 pesos to the National Park. Not a bad deal as it was $150 to $190 via an agency. We drive in the van and get to the entrance of the park, where I see a sign indicating $50 pesos per person. Riding up front next to the driver, I ask him if it is $50 per person to get in.

What most struck us as we entered the park was that it looked very much like Cape Breton, Nova Scotia; same trees, same mountains (OK, much higher!), clear lakes with beaver dam. Wait: beaver dams!

I went to the national park there, which was pretty but not spectacular like the Fitzroy National Park. I went with some Brazilians who went crazy when we saw rabbits in the wild there. It turns out the rabbits were introduced to the park from Europe and this isn ...

... are the friendly cats, they seem to really like our dorm and have been quite happy to cuddle up to me when I am reading in bed. Yesterday we walked up to the Martial glacier, beautiful views, although think the glacier is over rated, it's more like a small pile of snow.
