Day 2, Ushuaia

---

I´m still in Ushuaia, although in 24 hours i´ll be on my way to ´the Ice´which is the local term for Antartica. I´ll be gone for 12 days and I can´t wait, I had this trip in my mind since I saw it on RTE´s travel programme ´No Frontiers´ 2 years ago. It´s really warm here and today I sat out reading my book with just a t-shirt on. Yes you read right I was reading ! I finished a complete book on the journey here, which was called Dear John by Nicholas Sparks ( the guy who wrote the Notebook) . I found a book store that sells English books, so I´m now reading one about a girl from Oz who goes to work on the Ice as a cook. It takes 2 days of sailing to actually get to the Anartica so I´m hoping to do a bit of reading in those days. That´s if I find my sea legs, and don´t spent those days with my head overboard wretching.

Boy are those Spanish classes I did 3 years ago paying off, althouygh this is a big tourist town, Spanisg is still the main language evertywhere u go and not everyone speaks English in the shops and restranuts, although some do try. So by broken Spanish, accent and all are making a come back.

well i´ll be out of touch for the next 12 days, on my return i´m sure i´ll have lots of stories and photos to upload.
bye 4 now,
ali
