....because i'm too tired to write much. The ship came in, saw Stian briefly which was nice, he's off at his end of cruise party and hopefully he'll come this way later. Today was mellow but tomorrow a full ship day for us.
First order of the day was getting our Extreme Cold Weather gear. Laura is trying on some of the many pairs of gloves we get issued.
A mound of clothes........
Marshall trying on the largest boots around......
After the morning at the ship the five of down here went out for a tour south of Punta Arenas. These are catagorically not penguins. Cormorants in fact. But they are black and white.
The five of us looking out over the furthest south point on the South American continent.
What kind of tree is this? Anyone know? It was very cool - succulent waxy leaves and big!
We went to visit a reconstruction of one of the first Chilean forts down here. Very cool.
Maureen, Laura and Dan looking out over the Darwin Mountain Range next to one of the forts cannons.
Me at the end of the earth - the furthest south you can get on the continent (there are islands further south...).
And I just liked this photo..........

bella says she still wants to see a photo of you on your deck swing. and any update on whether you'll be allowed on the boat with your heel?
Aw, i'm sorry bella! I forgot about that.....will do when I get back...trust a 3yr old to remember what a sketchy scientist will forget......
Heel doing okay - well enough I haven't had to admit it to anyone, so hoping it continues. Still haven't worn full shoes (love the dansko clogs!), and want to wait off that for as long as I can. Want to show it to Stian sometime too, but we've not had too much time to ourselves - really busy portcall!
