There She Blows
One of our first close up views of a whale. OK so not actually Wales but most of the towns in Chubut province were established by Welsh settlers in the 19th century, so close enough.
We hadn't planned to travel north up the east coast but Ruta 40 is still closed until the end of the month when the snow will be cleared. As luck would have it we hit one of the best months of the year for wildlife on and around Peninsula Valdes :-) The roll call included southern wright whales, sea lions, guanaco, elephant seals, penguins, mara (Patagonian hares), lizards, and tons of different birds. We also had a great sunset on the way back to Pueto Madryn. All in all another great day to add to our growing list of great days.
