We are in port today at Puerto Madryn, Argentina and had a lovely day walking the city and visiting a museum dedicated to the sea and sea life. We had a great lunch with a bottle of Mendoza Malbec wine 👌🍷. We are back on the ship now with a final sea day tomorrow and then Buenos Aires where we dis-embark on Sunday. We have a hotel in Buenos Aires for 2 nights and will be flying home on Tuesday night into Detroit on Wednesday morning. Steve is perhaps more ready to get off the ship than I am. I have really enjoyed meeting the people and forming some new friendships. We met a delightful couple from New Zealand who have given us a personal itinerary for visiting their country.
As much as the menus on the ship have become somewhat repetitive I have to remind myself that someone else is cooking and cleaning up everything and my menus at home get repetitive too. I guess I have not missed my kitchen at all this trip and grocery shopping is another area that I have forgotten needs to be done when we are home preparing our own meals. I had better start gearing up for that too. And probably in the cold weather to make it even less inviting.
Some pictures from our day in Puerto Madryn,
The Historic Center which never opens
The Plaza de Armas which seems to be in every SA town and of course with a monument
The Puerto Madryn skyline from the ship at the pier
The penguins at the museum
New sunglasses needed for Steve.

Well, I too am sad to see your trip come to an end as I have so enjoyed your pictures and commentary! I have also learned some things about South America that are interesting! Do I sense there is a trip to New Zealand in your future!?! Wish I lived closer to you, I would have a few meals prepared for you so you could ease back into the real world❤️
