We made it to the bottom of the world - and back! Amazingly cool to pass Cape Horn, even though the wind was blowing at 85 knots so we couldn't take the zodiak boats into the shore - so sorry, no "end of the world" souvenirs from the Cape Horn gift shop ;-)
We are now in Buenos Airies. In the first two hours there we moved about 200m as we waited almost an hour for our bags (the crowd broke out in rhythmic clapping even!) then another hour waiting for the car we'd ordered. But then things picked up. It was about 11pm and we walked to the neighborhood restaurant for a quick bite. But the couple in the next table offered to make some food suggestions. Turned out she was a PhD student at McGill (from Brazil) and she was with her friend, a tango dancer who also studied in McGill, and before we knew it it was about 1am. This city so far is really fun - of course we have only seen one block so far and we haven't yet been mugged. We hope to see Boca Juniors play on Friday - what a treat that would be!
(PS: Sorry - something funny happened to all my previous photos that I posted here. I think it was when I gave them all titles and added notes to them in Flickr)
Love, AYZ & CharM
Fantastic Photo ad - too bad about the pressies!
