Are you the penguin girls? Are you the Thunder Bay girls? Are you the charity girls? These are all versions of the same question we have heard from many people over the past few days. We have made it to Buenos Aries where we joined up with the other 175 crazy people that think running in Antarctica is a good idea.
We have spent time wandering the streets on Buenos Aries and have found it a beautiful clean city with lots of green space. On our second day we hopped on a 2 hour train to Tigre Delta. Once there we immediately jumped on a boat and took an hour boat ride past the trees and houses on stilts. Unfortunately by the time we made to the handcrafted market most of the stalls we closed. Maybe that is a good thing for our wallets and suitcase. We were both thrilled to get out of the big city!
This morning we hoped to have a relaxing easy morning. After sleeping in until 9am our whole morning turned into a scramble of rushing to get our complimentary breakfast that ended at 9 followed by rushing to buy tickets and get to the terminal to catch the 1 hour ferry to Uruguay. We both fell in love with the quant little town of Colonia. We wandered cobble stone streets in the shade of the large trees that lined them, ate at the cafes, and had a rest in the park.
We are excitedly awaiting our 5am departure tomorrow morning where we finally begin our journey to Antarctica. If you are the praying type we would love it if you gave a little shout out to God for our safety, strong knees and legs, and happy tummies.
