Hey Kendra,
Today you fly home after celebrating Uncle Lloyd's 99th and we drive southward through the Tierra Del Fuego, et al. We had our first shakedown expedition landing in small boats to Garibaldi Glacier also getting up close and personal with a colony of sea lions, a turkey vulture couple, a kelp geese couple, and the local condor. I've decided I would rather be a sea lion cow than a bull. These two really tore each other up. Their pups (also seen below) are quite cute.
Our dinner companion pointed out I could have a harem as a bull, but one wife is already (nearly) too much.
The glacier is quite active and we found ourselves surrounded by growlers & berg bits. The face of the glacier is 100 meters tall and is a part of a 2500 square kilometer ice field. We are immersed in sea life and stunning mountains & glacial moraines.
The ship's Electrician has tapped into the Superbowl feed so we get to watch something we don't care about while catching up with you & Mom's 200 photos. Here is the last view until tomorrow when we plan a visit to Cape Horn.
It is 21 to 3 at the half but Ms. Gaga was such a yawn and the game is essentially the same. I'd rather get up at 5 for an exciting sunrise and quality knitting than endure the teley.
Love,
Dad.
What is great about watching the Super Bowl in Chilean waters is that we enjoy the play-by-play in Spanish. That means without looking we could be enjoying the World's version of football that America calls soccer. . The only bummer is the commercials are local, so we don't enjoy the $500M per 30 second spots from Budweiser, et. al.
Don't worry, I got you a present from the reunion!
