The Real Windy City

This morning we woke up with our Beagle Channel cruise booked and ready to go. After our transfer to the port we were notified that the Navy has closed the port due to severe winds. With our flight still some hours away we spent the morning walking the small streets of Ushuaia before being picked up for our flight. Throughout our stay in Ushuaia we always tried to figure out the rules of the road. On our way to the airport we finally had a local to ask and she replied "survival of the fittest". It seems to be quite a theme around here.

When we finally arrived on the third leg of our trip in El Calafate we wanted to make the most of the long sunlight hours and took a walk through Laguna Nimez nature reserve. While Mom and I were walking Dad was in charge of picking out a restaurant that would accommodate our restrictions. 

Fortunately we found a great spot that even offered a tango show! Given my new found appreciation for the art I was beyond ecstatic for the special treat. Moments after placing our order the lights went dark and we waited on baited breath for the show to begin. As a few minutes past we came to realize the room went dark since the entire city  had lost power and the restaurant hadn't planned the dramatic pause. The dinner went on without power and without tango dancing but we dined by candlelight. After our meal we returned to our hotel only to realize it was still lighter outside than it was in the powerless restaurant! A good nights rest was in order for the much anticipated long day ahead trekking Perito Moreno.
