El fin del mundo

Its very cold and windy at the end of the world.... Tierra del Fuego, Ushuaia.

It was very windy as the plane landed, so much so that I got a bit motion sick and then entire plane started clapping when the wheels finally touched down. Our boat tour yesterday was canceled because of the weather so we stopped into an Irish Pub for a beer instead. It was St patty´s after all.

That means today is our day, and we are trying to pack in a short hike in the national park in the morning and a trip to walk with the penguins in the afternoon. It´s going to be one of those traveling days where about halfway through you feel like you have experienced more new things than you do in a month at home. It will be good but I must admit I am starting to really look forward to some down time in BA. I don´t know if I´ve mentioned on here but I´ve decided to spend my last 9 days in BA with just a short couple day trip to a beach town in Uruguay. There is lots more of AR I´d love to see but I want to travel a bit slower for a while.

PS--- Our hostel here in Ushuaia, La Posta is FANTASTIC. I slept like I was in my own bed, down comforter and all and have met some great people, including a man from Valencia who taught me how to properly make a torilla espanola.
