Sorry it\u00c2\u00b4s been such a long time since we\u00c2\u00b4ve posted, and that it\u00c2\u00b4s going to be a long time before we post again.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
We\u00c2\u00b4ve generally been having a pretty great time, checking out Buenos Aires, and a good part of the Argentine coast including colonies of parrots, three kinds of cormorants, two kinds of penguins, Southern sea lions, and elephant seals.\u00c2\u00a0 The roads have plenty of guanacos (pretty antelopes) and rheas (little ostriches) and various other birds.\u00c2\u00a0 We also saw a beautiful petrified wood forest.<\/p>\n
Not all has been perfect.\u00c2\u00a0 We were assured weeks ago by a US agent of Alamo\/National\u00c2\u00a0that the car would come with permissions to drive into Chile and Paraguay.\u00c2\u00a0 It didn\u00c2\u00b4t, and we\u00c2\u00b4ve been trying to get that permission to reach us before the border.\u00c2\u00a0 Because of the interminable holiday season, it seems that won\u00c2\u00b4t happen, and we\u00c2\u00b4ll fly to Ushuaia from Rio Gallegos instead.<\/p>\n
And things have been even more dodgy since our car was broken into in Trelew, and a few random things stolen from the interior.\u00c2\u00a0 The most annoying thing taken was the power adapter to the computer, without which it has been impossible to save pictures from the cameras and track logs from the GPS, and to post certain long thoughts about Buenos Aires which have already been written offline.\u00c2\u00a0 A few other items taken included our binoculars, a Camelbak, and the cigarette lighter AC inverter, but these are less crucial or more easily replaced.<\/p>\n
There is hope.\u00c2\u00a0 Ray\u00c2\u00b4s cousin bought a new AC adapter in an Apple Store in Key West yesterday, and will bring it to us on Wednesday as the cruise begins.\u00c2\u00a0 So we only have to get through the next four days without the computer.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 (Until then, we can communicate with the iPhone wherever there\u00c2\u00b4s WiFi, which is lots of places.)<\/p>\n
But as the cruise begins, the connectivity ends.\u00c2\u00a0 There is super-expensive Internet on the boat, which we will use quite sparingly if at all.\u00c2\u00a0 So there won\u00c2\u00b4t be much more news soon, but we\u00c2\u00b4re doing fine, and mostly having a great time.<\/p>\n
Have a happy New Year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
