Ushuaia - Day One

After a very wet and stormy Sunday and Monday morning we arrived in Ushuaia today at 940 this morning. We are all extremely tired right now (none of us got much sleep last night due to the noise from the storm, the late dinner, and the fact that we all were awake by 430am!!). This morning, we dropped off our bags at the hotel Mirador el Beagle and headed to town to hit some tourism offices to decide how to spend our next few days here. We have decided to go with the canal agency and tomorrow morning we will be taking a tour of the Beagle Channel via canoe, treking and something called a zodiac (seems to be some sort of motorboat). The tour will last about 12 hours and we will stop for a barbecue fish lunch along the way. Most importantly, we will hopefully see Penguins, which Natalia is DYING to see.

We spend the rest of the afternoon eating lunch, checking out the Glacier Martial (not that impressive as far as glaciers go, but it was cool to take the ski lift chairs up... the views were amazing) and we just spent a few hours at this really cute teahouse called La CabaƱa del Te at the base of the glacier chair lift. Tomorrow I will probably have a more exciting story to tell you, but for now we are just taking it easy and going to call it a night early tomorrow... the travel company is coming by around 8am.
