- DAY 6
Besides the general difference of attire and appearance, in this small city of Punta Arenas, is the walk that truly distinguishes the locals from those just passing through. The winds that come off the Magellan Strait is enough to blow the unaccustomed sideways, yet the residents seem undaunted.
Penguins seem equally equipped to deal with the magnificent, austere and turbulent landscape in which they dwell. To see them in the wild, albeit in close proximity to the camera wielding visitors, delights me.
The Magellan Strait is no longer a name I simply recall reading in the history books. I can now associate it with immense sky, temperamental waters, mountains far but still in view and these wonderful creatures who seem quite content in this challenging but magnificent land.
The next days wifi may not be available, but I will be in touch when I can. So just in case I send the warmest, best wishes and love to my family and friends on Thanksgiving and to all who are celebrating.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
