We´re baaaaack...

So... we´ve been slacking a bit lately on the blogging. It´s been what... 12 days now since we posted? Hey, Dad´s only got 17 days down here... who´s got time for sitting in an internet cafe when we´ve got world-class scenery to enjoy? But it´s time to bring our faithful readers up to speed...

We spent some time in Torres del Paine National Park, in Chile... about as close to Antarctica as we could get on this trip.

The weather was less than perfect... actually, it was pretty frigid.


Cloudy, too, which interfered with some of our sightseeing... there were still plenty of spectacular views, though.

And there was loads of wildlife... guanacos (wild llamas) and rheas (ostriches in patagonia?!), plus foxes, condors, lots of other birds, and fossilized remains of a prehistoric teddy bear.

In fact, there was so much to be seen, and so little time, we weren´t sure which way to go....

Dad´s new GPS wasn´t much help in deciding our course, as you can see. (Too cold to swim.)


In the end, we decided to just chill:


Up next: our tropical cruise.


Except... we were nowhere near the tropics. And our boat wasn´t exactly a cruise ship... in fact, we shared it with several boxcars crammed full of cattle.
