Ushuaia Argentina: The southern most city in the world

Ushuaia looks like a Swiss Village surrounded by beautiful snow covered mountains. The temperature was 41 degrees while we were there, but the wind made it feel much colder. We didn’t take a tour, just walked around the town, went into a few shops and used the internet services. This is where is all started. I decided to check, for sure, to find out what the weather was in the Falkland Islands when we were supposed to be there. Well, I went on weatherunderground.com and discovered that, not only was there no rain, but the temperature was in the mid to low 60’s and the winds were calm. I checked both the day before, March 5^th, and the day after, March 7^th – neither of those days had winds over 30 mph. So where were the “gale force winds” (over 45mph) that kept us from even venturing to the Falklands???? Well, I have help the word to spread through out the ship. I printed the weather reports for those three days and gave them to our Grand Circle Director who has promised to ask the crew about the change in course. I will definitely write letters when I get home. Now I am afraid the Captain will “accidentally” leave us ashore at our next port. Hal says I’m just a trouble maker, however, there is a man here from Atlanta that told me if I would come back to Georgia, he will get me elected to any office I want. Well the adventure goes on – next stop, Penguins!!!
