Gypsy Cove

Did you wonder why there were no people on the beach in yesterday's photo? It's because of possible mines left over from their 1982 war with Argentina over ownership of the Falklands (the Malvinas according to Argentina). Great Britain came to the rescue to retain their control. You could almost believe you were in England in the Falklands!

Good fortune

We had wonderful good fortune on this South American trip. The weather was sunny, cool (as expected), and we didn't get rained on through the whole trip. And the penguins are usually gone from the Falklands by early March (we were there March 9), but there they were - a big group of Magellanic Penguins on Gypsy Cove. Such good luck!
