Guillermo called me after they got settled in at Rio Gallegos. He said the crossing of the Strait of Magellan wasn't too bad this time as the seas were a little calmer. He also said that on their way to Ushuaia, it was dark the last few hours of the trip so they didn't get to see the surrounding landscape. He thought that now, on their way back from Ushuaia, they'd be able to see what they had missed, but again, the bus left so early that it was STILL dark when they passed through that same area. Tomorrow, the 22nd, they fly from Rio Gallegos to Buenos Aires, where they'll arrive at around 2pm. They will meet me at the airport on the 23rd at 9:20am. Yes!!!
Guillermo and I spent quite a bit of time instant-messaging each other after he called, so there wasn't an email from him today. What is quoted below are some of the things he wrote while we were chatting.
Pretty much all we did today was ride that bus. We got up at five amd got here at 5:30. We saw lots of geese again, rheas, guanacos and some flamingos. That has been our day. We also had to go through 4 border checks.
Río Gallegos doesn't seem to have much character, so I am glad we are only going to be here tonight. It is quite cold here too, as it has been everywhere for weeks now, so it will be nice to get back into warm weather tomorrow.
I will probably send you an email from Buenos Aires after we get there, but I won't expect an answer from you.
