Hi again from the Southern Chilean Fjord country. This southern tip of South America is incredibly beautiful with snow capped mountains in the background and scenic islands and fjords along the coast. It reminds me of Norway only a bit more spectacular. Early this morning we passed through the Darwin Channel which is a fjord. Our travel guide narrated the passing and she is full of interesting information and history. During days at sea on this trip there are various lectures and classes that one can attend. We attended two lectures this morning, one on the political history of this area and the other about marine life and the sea. We are on our way to Punta Arenas and getting very close to Antarctica. When we get to Ushuaia, which is in Argentina and the furthest south of any city on the planet, we are going to go on a narrow gauge train ride to a national park and former prison which is now a museum. I'll take some pictures and send them. I am having trouble downloading pictures today, I keep getting a message that the server isn't working. It is a wonder that anything works out here at the bottom of Earth. I'll try to send pictures later today. Too bad about the Vikings!!
Love, Gwen
