HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM USHUAIA, THE SOUTHERNMOST CITY IN THE WORLD!!!! Hope you all had a very happy holiday season. Let's see, how to catch you up on my adventures.... First, I spent a few days in Santiago. a city i LOVED. They have a great subway system- clean and efficient. I found it to be such a sweet sleepy little city with great weather.

Making My Way Down the Amazon Trail

Firefly

I am borrowing the Aussie tradition, and going on a 'walk-about', to follow my passion. Stepping out of the 'rat race' for a life sabbatical, i'm chasing my long-time dream of doing conservation work in the amazon. On a whirlwind tour of South America, I will be volunteering with conservation organizations and animal sanctuaries, while seeking out all the sights, sounds and adventures I can stuff into my psyche along the way!

You drank a glacier???
Man, I want to drink glacier cubes! Sucks about your camera, though...still, you had a way better new years than I did--I filed two years of bills and paperwork. Exciting start to 2007... hopefully it just gets better from here! As always, great pix, and cute penguin!! Lisa and I went to the zoo at Xmas and saw the penguins there, but I'm thinking yours are way cooler! (literally and figuratively...) I'll send a real e-mail soon...

Happy New Year!
We've missed you. I've been anxious to hear from you and as always it was worth the wait. Your glacier walking and those hikes you have survived and the cold...... You are tough. What if you start loving the cold? I didn't want the photos to end. Thanks so much for keeping us in the loop with you on this adventure. We sure are boring in comparison. All is good here and since the ice storm a month ago it's mostly been above average temps and only a few rainy days. Happy New Year! :-) Oh, and good work with the kitties. Good thing you came along when you did, huh?

Happy 2007
Tan, You must have been completely frozen. Remember the parades in the cold weather? I'm sure this was WAY colder! I cannot imagine. The southermost city in the world, though very scenic, looks also very dreary. Can you imagine living there? The penquins look like that movie about penquins. Are you into the warmer climate now, or soon? Take care. The pictures are great though I am sorry about your camera. Love, Mom PS Looks like you are in GREAT shape (and your hair is getting long too!

Ice? Ice!!!
Tana, Jeezzzzz.... It's like the Cool Runnings movie. I'd have thought you weren't allowed to visit the glacier, 'cuz you would melt it w/ your space heater!! (or, did you NOT bring that???!!!) hahahaha It is SO cool to see you exploring all the way to the END of the World!! :-) Glad you're ok. Miss you. Write when you can!
