Blue sky and shopping

Ushuaia, Argentina
Amazing mountains and blue sky from the hotel this morning. Took a walk across the water to view the Beagle Channel and look back across at Ushuaia framed by the mountains. Visited the Museo Maritimo, Ushuaia was first built around this jail. The building still stands after being built by convicts 1902-1920, just incredible that they ferried from the quarry and constructed with their hands in such harsh climate. Several interesting exhibits on ship structures and Antarctica exploration make for a nice couple of hours immersion. Walked up and down town getting supplies for the boat in the form of wine and chocolate. Lunch was too big, forfeited a dinner for snacks in the hotel. Tomorrow we board our boat for Antarctica!
