Hi Family! It's hard to believe that I'm really here & enjoying every minute. I just came in from sliding down a mini mountain on the seat of my pants at an abandoned Argentianian base camp. It is impossible to describe the majesty of this area. The Drake Passage crossing was very easy according to all who had done it before. Maybe we will change the report on the return trip. When the sun shines it is unbelievable. Penguins are so cute. You would be surprised to see how many varieties there are. Lots of neat birds are around. Today we saw the Imperial Cormorant (blue eyed shag). Ice bergs have a really beautiful blue color at the base & the part that is under water. Believe it or not there is some plant life here. Moss & lichen are just showing now that summer is here. The ship is very nice & the food is too good & available at all times.
