Ushuia

Hi All,
I say "I am the biggest idiot in the world". Well, now it`s true. Ahhhhhh, I forgot to bring my password top sign into the blog to be able to post. At least I`m the biggest idiot in Ushuia!! Please check Judi`s blog, her blog is connected to mine. Look in the top right side. She seems to be a little more computer literate than I and has posted a couple pictures of us. They`re quite funny.
Anyway we`ve made it out of Buenos Aires. 3 days and 2 nights of Miami in August weather. I began to wonder what I was doing with all these clothes for below zero weather. Its a good thing at the last minute Bob and I each packed a pair of shorts and a tank top!! Of course we had to hand wash them every night for the 3 days in BA (as the locals call it). BA was a nice, big, crowded city where everyone speaks Spanish. Reminded me of Miami.
We`re here in Ushuia, where our winter clothes are more appropriate. The flight was 4 hours from BA and we flew in over snow covered mountains, which we can see right out our hotel window. I am taking lots of pictures (ya think?).
We got to watch the Superbowl last night. Congrats Miami on keeping the perfect season!! We watched here at the hotel in the rec room on a black and white, 19 inch televisia, in Spanish with only local commercials. It was great. It will always be memorable in so many ways.
It morning now and we`ll be taking off in a few from the hotel. Our mission today is to explore Ushuia and then leter today get on our ship and head south!! Wow!! It`s finally here, we`re finally heading to Antarctica. I`m still a little amazed.
We`re with the coolest bunch of Elserhoselers. Get this - there`s a women here, older than Judi and has cycled cross county 5 times. There`s university professors who kyack all over the world. Bob got tired just listening to their stories, much less doing anything physically challanging!! Ok, so most didn`t know who Tom Petty was last night, but a couple of the young ones did. And there are a couple of people our age. One lady (a professional chef) and Bobs new best friend is traveling with her father. The group is mixed and really wonderful. If it weren`t for the grey hair and lines of experience on their faces, you`d never know their age and the fact that they are retired. A more energetic, healthy bunch I haven`t met in a long time!!
We think of you all, I really can`t say we miss you yet, but okay - we miss you and love you. Keep reading, we`ll keep posting. Please check out Judi`s blog. She`s put pictures up on hers.
See you in Antarctica!
Love,
Felice and Bob
