So, folks, you will have noticed….only pix from a distance away, no pix wandering around on land with penguins, etc. Here’s the deal. Somewhere along the ~47 flights we took to get to Buenos Aires, Barbara caught a nasty cold. Generous soul that she is, she promptly shared it with me. And we’ve been hacking our guts out ever since. We pretty much just hang out in our room, coming and going to sit in the corner somewhere and eat meals. Seems really stubborn, which will probably mean that we’ll not get to set foot on the Antarctic peninsula this trip. Our lungs are already stressed from a week of coughing, and subjecting to the hyper-frigid Antarctic air could only be asking for trouble. So, we’re in stasis mode, nothing can really happen until something happens. So pardon the lack of substance on the blog. When I can post something about an actual new experience, y’all will be the first to know.
