I had to hitch hike part of the way from Puerto Arenas to Ushuaia. I saw tons of Nandu on the way. They are like ostriges, except they are brown and half the size. Tried to get a picture, but it looks like brown lumps in a field.

Ushuaia is the most souther city in the word. Some say that Puerto Arenas is the farthest city and Ushuaia is the farthest town. Now Iīve been to both of them. It is a cool city, between the mountains and the Beagle Chanel. It used to be a huge prison/penal colony. The old prison building is now a museum and art gallery.

It looks like this is the farthest south I go on this trip, from now on it is back to the north. I checked into getting to Antartica but it would cost at least $6000. I also checked out getting a job on a private yatch that was docked here, but they were fully crewed and I donīt really want to have a job anyway.
