El Fin Del Mundo...

Whew... Finally caught up on the back-log of blog posts. 

After Torres del Paine, we headed back to Puerto Natales for hot showers, good food, fresh laundry, and a lazy day in town (of course, Amy ran 10 miles also). 

The next morning, we hopped on a 12-hour bus (sorry Fongs, no Cama class available this time) to head south.  Our bus crossed the Magellan Strait on a ferry, which was escorted by playful Commerson´s Dolphins the whole way across.  We also crossed into Argentina for the first time, and eventually reached Ushuaia, the southern-most city in the world, which embraces it´s title as 'El Fin Del Mundo' - the end of the earth. 

Tomorrow, we will cross the Beagle channel (back into Chile) for Isla de Navarino, for the tiny Chilean town of Puerto Williams (which has an even stronger claim as el fin del mundo... but don´t tell the Ushuaians that).  We´ll be setting off on a 5 day trek of Dientes de Navarino (the teeth of Navarino, named for the tooth-like spires of rock that form the mountain chain), which is known as the southern-most trek in the world. 

Back in a week... Until then... Abrazos...
