January 23rd (Buenos Aires)Walked around Buenos Aires and stopped in front of Casa Rosada, the Presidential Palace, for a pose. Had a great time walking all over BA. We were constantly on the lookout for the next parilla (steakhouse) and managed to spoil ourselves at two awesome places for good steak and wine.
January 23rd (Buenos Aires)
Jon is about to indulge in this enormous serving of steak and 13 sides. We managed to select an excellent malbec to enjoy with our meat. YUM!
January 27th (Punta Arenas, Chile)We flew from Buenos Aires to Punta Arenas. Check it out on a map! It´s down at the very southern tip of Chile on the Straight of Magellan. This town of 125, 000 is a big stopover town for folks going up to Torres del Paine (Patagonia).
January 28th (Isla Magdalena, Chile)Penguins, Penguins, and more Penguins!!!! We took a boat ride to this little island in the Straight of Magellan to see a penguin colony! We couldn´t get enough of the little guys. Los pingüinos son muy guapos! We had so much fun walking around the penguins. They are hilarious. Note the penguin in the 2nd photo decided to poo right when Jon took the photo.
January 28th (Isla Marta, Chile)The boat cruised past this little island where a group of sea lions call home. We couldn´t believe the size of some of them. They truly looked like lions with manes. They could give the sea lions at Pier 39 in San Francisco a run for their money. Lots of pups too!!
January 29th (Puerto Natales, Chile)
We took a 3 hour bus ride from Punta Arenas north to Puerto Natales. Tomorrow, we head into Torres del Paine National Park and begin our 4 days of trekking through beautiful Patagonia!

13 sides? Don't they know you're American, dammit?! You need at least 15 sides. Looks amazing...love the penguin pics. Did they stink like they do at the zoo?
Hey Jon and Ash,
I have been following your itineray, and looking at all the neat places you are staying. Sooo cool. Did you have a flashight and make the penguins follow the light? They are too cute. Patgonia, I love the clothes they make there.
Have some wine for me...
Love momma
Jon and Ashley:
You guys are having way too much fun. 13 sides AND steak?? Can't wait to see some pictures of Patagonia.
Ashley, Did you sing "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" in front of the palace?? Would have made Madonna proud.
Enjoy and take my advice: "Pace Yourselves"

Hannah loved the pics of the penguins! I was impressed that you managed to find a "Claim Jumper" style meal so far away-nice work!
