Ushuaia, Argentina


We rode through the Beagle Channel this morning on our way to Ushuaia, Argentina.   The Beagle Channel is called Glacier Alley by the locals.  We saw at least 6 huge glaciers as we went through this narrow passage.  

We arrived in Ushuaia, Argentina around 1 pm and for the first time on this trip, we actually docked at the port.  We didn’t have to ride in tenders to get to the shore.   It began to rain so after walking through the town, checking our emails (and yes….Facebook), we decided to head back to the ship.  By the time we got back onboard it was 6:15 p.m.  We were scheduled to leave at 7 pm   Today I added yet another new country to my list of places visited!

We met up with new friends Corolla and Jim in the Crows Nest and we had dinner together at the Lido buffet.    The long daylight hours still seem a bit strange to us.  But at 10 p.m., its still light outside.
