Today was an early morning. I was up so early that I even had time for coffee and a quick breakfast at the hotel before my taxi arrived to take me down to the docks. What an absolutely amazing trip this was today. Only 80 people per day are allowed on the Penguin Island, or Rookery, and in groups of 20 at a time. We drove in a mini bus for about an hour. Along the way we stopped to take some pictu... Read Full Entry

Well, it was finally time for me to take down my former bio where I was enthusiastically looking forward to my trip to Peru. It is now in the history books and will always be remembered as yet another great trip.
So, with that being said, I am now noodling on where I want to go next year. I have narrowed the list to the top 3, although I know that as things change, the list may as well. But for now here they are in order. 1. Turkey I have had this on my short list for several years, so it may be time to make it happen. 2. New Zealand I find that I love outdoors adventures on my trave... full info

Rhubarb?
Hi B, Wow, after looking at your pictures I could see myself visiting Argentina. I had no idea that it was that cold and snowy. Will get mom and dad to look at your pictures. Mom won't believe the penguin ones. You know how she likes them. That being said, I can't believe you raved about rhubarb cake. Almost ruined the whole page for me :-) Have fun and be safe.

Oh Ted, you and rhubarb. I actually thought of you and how much you hate it when I ordered it. Glad you like the blogs. And thank you. I had planned on asking you to show Mom and Dad the penguin pics and the train one for Dad. In Buenos Aires now. Hot and humid. Ugh.

It was so difficult to choose which blog or photo to comment on...
as I was enjoying many of them. I eventually chose this one over the Iguazú National Park blog because the penguins' cuteness demands comment. Even the video of them slipping into the water is so ticklish and playful. I believe you regarding the Rhubarb Cake. It never sounds delicious, but if the chef knows how to handle the plant, it can be delectable surprise.

Thank you Michelle. I agree that the penguins are deserving of special attention. Walking on the island with them, hearing them and watching them was pretty darn special.

Penguins!!!
B- Love the penguin pics! They are so cute. Okay, I love all your pics. I shared the blog with Rebecca and James, and now they love them, too. Rebecca asked if she could post some on her tumblr with a link back to your blog. What do you think? The teacher in me also enjoyed giving them a little geography lesson. lol -V
