As I was riding I saw these little heads and turned around to park on the other side of the road and try to get a picture.
|
|
|
They ran away but I got a couple of shots.
|
|
|
|
At Tres Cerros again for gas and a glimpse at their pet.
|
|
|
A very intimidating beast but I bravely risked it all to get close enough for this picture.
|
|
|
|
I pulled over for a break and saw these initials "E.G." on the side. It's about 20 miles north of Comodoro Rivadavia.
|
|
|
First glimpse of Puerto Madryn. I had no idea I'd be here for two weeks.
|
|
|
|
"The most important isn't what you have, or what you do, but what you are" a little Madryn public service announcement.
|
|
|
The beach-balls really suck here.
|
|
|
|
This ship wreck was historically significant for some reason.
|
|
|
This Donald Sutherland statue was next to the ship wreck, I guess he was the captain, which would explain why it's so significant.
|
|
|
|
On the main avenue of town.
|
|
|
More boat theme stuff in the park.
|
|
|
|
Notice anything about this tree carving? Me neither.
|
|
|
More park art.
|
|
|
|
On the way out to the Valdez Peninsula.
|
|
|
More llamas.
|
|
|
|
The ears back look.
|
|
|
This curious critter has learned long ago that humans = free food and was not the least bit afraid.
|
|
|
|
The grey arctic foxes in the park are not quite as fearless as the armadillo's but they'll hang out in the general area waiting for free food.
|
|
|
Poised to snatch a snack from a human.
|
|
|
|
This armadillo was literally climbing onto peoples laps looking for food.
|
|
|
They even fed the curious cutie critter.
|
|
|
|
This is the main spot where the Orca's will swim right onto the beach to snatch a seal but there was no Orca action on this day.
|
|
|
Even the little birds in the park are more comfortable around people than birds outside the park, it's the free food thing.
|
|
|
|
Waving.
|
|
|
Ferocious bird of prey.
|
|
|
|
Still on the Valdez Peninsula, there was a herd of about 25 of these big horses.
|
|
|
One of only two penguins left in the area.
|
|
|
|
Here's the other one hiding in the bushes.
|
|
|
An Australian couple on the cleanest motorcycle in all of South America!
|
|
|
|
Sunset as I was leaving the peninsula.
|
|
|
Sunrise from one of the many many mornings here in Puerto Madryn.
|
|
|
|
Back in Puerto Madryn, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, my heroes!
|
|
|
One that didn't make it.
|
|
|
|
Indian statue on the south end of town.
|
|
|
Lone pink flamingo.
|
|
|
|
Same one.
