    This is a rare animal seen during the drive to Puerto Madryn. It looks somewhat like a llama/alpaca, but is much less common. Views[506] Views[276] A good view of the sea with the grasses in the foreground. Views[353] This guy was walking here by himself, but others soon followed him. He had quite a struggle getting up the hill on these rocks. Views[359] Swimming is so much fun. Views[325]

    The land was beautiful there. Views[236] Here's a female in her burrow waiting on her egg to hatch. Views[264] In this view, you can more clearly see the huge numbers of them on the beach and in the water. Views[238] This guy was walking toward me.

    Wandering around. Views[225] Views[161] There were over a million penguins here. They swim from here to Rio de Janeiro, a distance of almost 2500 miles! They were having great fun in the water. Views[277] The landscape close to the rookery changed and had tall grasses around the area. Views[226] Note the markings on these 2 Magellan penguins. Quite different from the Gentoos and Kings.

    Views[199] Views[162] These are the views of the landscapes on our way to see the Magellan penguins. Views[254] Sue and Mafalda in La Boca. Views[447] I loved this one although he was too shaded to get a clean shot. Views[423]
     
    There were several of these colorful horses around town. Views[416] Linda in the shade of La Boca. Views[425] Yet another colorful house in La Boca.

I took this photo because off the blue balcony above this woman's head, hangs a statue of Pope Francis. Unfortunately, I didn't get what I was trying to take a photo of. Views[342] Tourists galore. Views[210] There was lots of good art and jewelry for sale. I wished I hadn't left my money on the bus. Views[277]
     
    It's a busy place. Views[242] A street scene. Note the statues on the balcony. Views[187] The La Boca area of BA is a wildly colored Bohemian place. Not safe at night, but great during the day.

Views[250] This swinging bridge was very unusual. Views[267]
