Alright, by popular request, we’re gonna try and get better at this whole keeping you updated thing!
So we made it down to Ushuaia…and it is beautiful down here! The snow-covered Andes Mountains descend directly into the water of the “Beagle channel”, and the city of Ushuaia is nestled right up in between. For it being the middle of summer down here, you would think it would be warm. Right. It’s exactly the same temperature as a nice San Fran summer! I guess that’s what you’d expect from the end of the continent though…
Everyone knows that Argentina is famous for beef, right? Well, it turns out that lamb is the meat of choice in the south, super popular. We feasted on a traditional lamb lunch our first day. I’ve got to say, I’ve never had such an amazing plate of lamb. The way they prepare it down here is spectacular – fairly simple too. After barbecuing it they serve it at your table on a mini bbq with hot coals to keep it warm, so the meat stays warm and continues to cook. This is definitely an idea to bring home!
After spending a little bit of time in town and in the spirit of our never-ending adventure, we jumped on a ship destined for…Antarctica!
