Pictures, as Promised

I mentioned that the mountains we saw on our flight were rugged.  You can see the timberline,  If you look closely you can also see where trees were knocked down by avalanches.

   

  

Our "Departure Port" was Ushuaia, on the southern part of Argentina.  We made one stop on our way from the airport to the ship.  One curious sight was this decoration on the railing along the sidewalk.  These wrappings looked like hand knit or crocheted dishcloths were covering the top pipe.  Our guide did not know of any significance.

                                                                                                                                                                   

I do not know if this sleigh is here all year, or only at Christmas.

This is the "lifeboat" or tender for our ship. 

The town of Ushuaia is snuggled between the mountains and the sea.
