Viedma, the town that seems to have fallen asleep 30-40 years ago and just woke up.

Viedma.

Pastilles in the Cathedral and around town add to the old feeling.

Eh??

These Parrot looking birds were just north of Viedma in several places.

These three were a less jumpy kind of bird and stayed put for a bit after the parrots left.

Mar del Plata; one of the many plaza/parks throughout the biggest beach resort town in Argentina.

Beach resort towns have nice beaches.

...and waves.

She kept on reaching down to touch the water every time it got close.

The cool crowd.

Girls on trampolines!

Sending the penguin a text message.

Lone, sick, oily penguin.

Everybody was checking out the penguin.

It just stood there and tried to clean the oil off it's feathers.

I usually don't feel sorry for shoes, but...

They had called the folks from the local aquarium to take it away.

She took care of the debreifing, saying the penguin was probably sick and got into some oil and couldn't keep up with the group.

Tango...

Tango...

Tango...

Some sort of Tango group outing I guess.
