Panama Cityl: Ushuaia, episode III

Ushuaia, last day...

2 main topics today, the port and the forrest.

First off, we were meant to visit the Parque Nacional de la Tierra del Fuego. A very interesting trekking was planned, and we (I and a french friend met here) were counting on a lady who had a vehicule to take us to the park, but she didn't show up... We waited 10min more, and decided to leave. So, we visited a bit of the town, then the port, and a militar area we've been asked to quit quickly. Fortunately, I had enough time to take some nice pictures :)

The military area...

Then, my friend went to make the tour I did the day before (Ushuaia part II), so I left towards the Glacier Martial. Finally I didn't climp until the Glacier itself, but had a lovely walk in the forest just beneath it.

First, I went through a very poor place, dusty, with houses made of wood and garbage, and stray dogs. Funny thing, though, stray dogs are very very numerous in Argentina, but all of them are very nice, and friendly. Except the one who tried to rob my empanadas yesterday, of course. In fact, two of them tried : first, a nice minnow husky, I would have been delighted to feed if he had let me take a picture of him. Being good looking is helpful to catch people attention, even when in the dog's world. The second dog came sniffing my pants, my shoes, shaking his tail like hell, and grabbed my plastic bag with his teeth and ran. Fortunately , he ripped it and I could keep my empanadas.

Yeah, I talk much more about animals, landscapes and pictures than humans. Why ? Well... I have almost no contact with authentic population here. The tourists piss them off, for sure, and aren't as eager to talk to people as others in Argentina.

... why not ?

So, I finally arrived at the forest, as you can see just after. Awesome place, cool, clean, and chilled. Great time here. I had so much fun that it took me 3hrs to make the 1hr tour, hahaha. T'was great !

Strange shaped trees...

Greaaaat landscapes.

Nice colors, eh ?

A moss face !!!

Don't know if you remember this house among the pictures I uploaded the day before yesterday, with the San Francisco like street with flowers, and so on. Here it is, a bit closer.

Hahahahaha !!! Special story here : I wanted to take a picture of me on this trunk, so I set the timer to 10s, ran on this fucking truc, and slipped, fell legs apart the wood, and landed... on my ass. A few centimeters more front, I'd have crushed my balls. Finally, I've had a light pain on a cheek, and both feet wet. And a good laughing time. And this picture :)
