This was taken this afternoon on Martillo Island on the Beagle Channel in Tierra del Fuego. It was a bit surreal stepping off a boat and quietly slipping into this scene.
Many more pics and some video to come another time. I’m exhausted but had to post at least one. 🙂
Slipping into the party. Did you have your tux on too?
Ha! Not this time. 🙂
ok.. i am thoroughly envious! thanks so much for keeping us informed!
i think i would have dropped down to ground level and started waddling around with them!
I would have too, but we weren’t allowed. 🙂
Ha, we missed our flight down south due to ash clouds from Chile. So envious 🙂
That’s too bad. It’s really an amazing part of world down here. 🙂
