Still here

Next destination, Ushuaia. Though, a slight complication... The next bus -that isn´t full- leaves on Thursday. Translation, we´re inPunta Arenas for another 3 days.

The town isn´t that bad. Founded in 1848, it´s architecture, at least wthin the orginal part of the city, is quite colonial.

While eating lunch today, a man from Pennsylvania encountered a slight problem with mathmatical conversiosn of currency. We started talking with him for a little while - 3 to 4 minutes. As he left the restaurant, his departing words were ¨enjoy this place man... you never know when you´ll have this opportunity again¨... then added, as he walked out the door ¨believe me, enjoy this place...there is a whore house up the street... you guys should check it out... it´s great¨ Then, sticking his thumbs to give the place an ok¨...really great.¨

We´re off to walk more of the city. Where people laugh when you pronounce Magellan ¨Magellan¨. Here, they pronounce the word as ¨Magallanes¨(ma-gah-leh-naws).
