punta arenas

flew to punta arenas today, beginning 2 weeks of vacation.

the timing is bad since apparently on friday the tia of the casa azul was fired. so the kids are without a tia, tia betty will be filling in for the next two weeks and then they will hire a new tia for the casa. the kids are kind of freaked out, some of the newer arrivals have never had tia betty as a casa tia before. and now we are leaving too, they were confused and thought we were going forever. so it´s too bad that we are leaving them now without a familiar tia. but i guess firing the tia wasn´t planned much in advance.

anyway. it is cold here. and really windy, 35 knots today. and the weather changes quickly. it hailed twice today, and drizzled. and in between it was really sunny.

we dipped our hands in the strait of magellan...and tomorrow we are going to see a penguin colony!!
