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

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

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.

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.
