Hey all,
We've now made it over to the Atlantic coast, still in Patagonia. Another overnight bus ride once again, and they served the classic fare of Ham and Cheese! We can't seem to escape that meal no matter where we go - especially Jen. Our hope is to see a lot of animals over here in Puerto Madryn, we've given up on the snow pursuit for our last week in Argentina. Sadly, Jen and I have found out that it's not possible to view the penguins this time of year, we are both pretty bummed when we found out about that. So no waddling around with the cute birds in suits, but we did head out to the sea after getting settled into our first hostel, and right in the bay in town you can see the whales swimming around in the bay. We walked out onto the pier and found a ton of whales every which direction you looked, pretty cool. I hear this snuffling sound and look down and there is this seal swimming around right next to us, so lots of wildlife to be seen real close. The whales seem to be playing around out in the bay, we watched some leap out of the water, some just come up for air, and we've learned that they don't like it when the seagulls land on them. We are both too poor to do any of the tours offered, which seem to be exceedingly spendy, so for our second day here, Jen and I just hike along the beach. We check out the pier before we go, there are these 3 seals just sunning on this boat dock, they must of climbed up the stairs, they are totally out of it, just sunning, cuddled together, pretty cute. We had a really nice walk along the beach, checking out seashells and fun rock formations, chilling, making sandcastles, a very peaceful day overall. Then back to our new hostel which has a way better vibe than the one we ended up in the first night, lots more friendly folks with more going on. Tomorrow we plan to rent some bikes to go and check out the sea lions, should be an adventure. I'll post pics as soon as the computers aren't soo competitive, but at least this place has computers for us to use.
