Today was a bit of a surprise. I knew it was raining out when I woke up, but I didn't realize how ugly the weather was.

Well, through good timing and lots of luck, I am about to hit the skies again. It has been far too long since my last journey. As much as I love going to visit my family each year, the act of heading to the airport and climbing on a plane to the homeland lacks the edge, excitement and the element of the unknown that a trip abroad brings. As with the rest of the world, my life shifted and changed through the pandemic; however, it is time to set free Brenno, the traveler lurking just beneath my daily home persona.

I would have thought so as well Deb, but I think the beauty of it was more than the cold. I am so glad I came all the way down here. But, back up the the heat tomorrow in Buenos Aires.

Another day of learning for me!
Dear Brendan, I love the different lighting on your mountain shots. There are some lovely effects. The end of the world is a beautiful place. Number 214 is my favorite today. I never even knew this place existed until you told me you were going to go here when I came over to see you at your mom and dad's house. Thanks again for posting all these blogs. They are great! Love, Connie

Thank you Connie, ·214 was taken just as we were about to sail into the Ushuaia Bay. It is difficult to see, but the town is nestled at the bottom of the picture. That is how beautiful this place is. I am so grateful to be able to be here and to be able to share all of this with you and my friends. B
