Patagonia & Happy Feet El Penguino

We spent the last week in Patagonia (the province of Chubut) where we came face to face with happy feet el penguino. Happy feet agreed to do a quick photo shoot for us (photo to the right). really nice guy. The big screen ads about 5 feet, turns out he's only about 16 inches tall.during our week we also got within 10 feet of a right whale and her new born baby, saw wild ostriches, lama's, lizards, sea lions, elephant seals and something that looked like a mix between a dog with horns and a naked rabbit.
All and all a fantastic experience. But because I just took the last 5 days off, I have a lot of work to do right now. So I'm just going to post a handful of pictures of the region.
I miss you all and hope to hear from you all soon.
