About this blog . . . .

In the introduction to his book, PATAGONIA - At the Bottom of the World, Dick Lutz wrote: "Patagonia is a region, not a country. It spans the southern third of Chile and Argentina, stretching between the Pacific and the Atlantic roughly from Puerto Montt, Chile and Peninsula Valdes, Argentina south [until] it meets the famous waterways of the Strait of Magellan, Beagle Channel, and Drake Passage (or Drake Strait). The northern limit of Patagonia is ill-defined, while the border between Chile and Argentina divides the region." Patagonia is sparsely populated, so much so that in 1991 the Hudson volcano erupted and no human was injured, even though this eruption was larger than that of Mt. St. Helens in 1980.
Ivan and I have been eyeing this area for a visit for quite some time. The possibility is great that we will see penguins, guanacos, Steamer Ducks (Flightless as well as Flying!), as well as many dozens of other remarkable animals and birds, to say nothing of the insects, reptiles, mountains. I'd better stop here. Writing these blogs has been a source of much pleasure for me, so if you follow us on our trip, my hope is that you will learn something about this unusual place, and will have a bit of fun reading of our adventures and, in some cases, misadventures!
REMEMBER TO READ FROM THE BOTTOM UP! The latest post will be at the top of the page, with earlier posts below it.

HEY! Note from the Editor

Hi Everyone! Ivan and I are sitting in the waiting lounge area of the Ushuaia International Airport for our (delayed) flight to Buenos Aires. Ushuaia is in Argentina so we are no longer in Chile. On the Chilean fjord trip, for which we were on the Stella Australis ship, there was no internet of any kind. Hence, the blog is waaay behind. We may be boarding our flight soon, although our plane has yet to appear at the gate, so I probably won't get much done from this location. We have wonderful and exciting tales to tell with equally great photos. Please bear with me - I'm eager to share all the stories and photos with you. I hope you are all well.
