Overlooking Ushuaia from flight 2872, I notice white spots tucked tightly together by the coast. Many islands scatter under tall snowy mountains, and I feel good. Screw this poetic crap! I’m gonna cut this short. Ushuaia sucked. I had enormous expectations of the most southern city on Earth aka “the end of the world”. I imagined a small quiet town - an ice desert with penguins and fishermen frolicking side-by-side. But no. Ushuaia is a dirty city congested with boats and cars, construction and overpriced chocolate. The indigenous museum was equivalent to a few high school history projects wrapped together in someone’s old house. The all you can eat Chinese buffet was a HUGE mistake! Tourist traps were everywhere. But! I cooked a nice fish dinner with Jacque The Frenchman and went on a fabulous boat ride this morning where I was able to unwind, meet some lovely ol’ Paraguayan ladies, and see some hilarious sea lions! Have you ever seen sea lions (or lobos) in their natural environment? They sit on a rock and scream all day - my new favorite animal!
I am back in Buenos Aires where I enjoyed a hot shower and delicious comforting home-cooked dinner with Elvira and Cacho. Elvira taught me some French: a na pa de qua (your welcome) and se’ fini (enough)...does that sound right?
Ok. Off to bed. I’ll post photos soon.
Love
Dave (aka D-A-Go! or Julio)
