Ushuaia December 15, 2010

This was the calm after the storm, but it sure was cold outside! Ushuaia is a very scenic, pretty town,it reminded me of Whistler in BC. Jim and I just went out wandering about mid-morning and did some souvenir shopping. We found Andrew and Kelly (all bundled up) just coming back to the ship as we were coming back also. Wandering back we passed the Clelia II - this was the ship that The National Geographic ship rescued last night from the Drake Passage as it did not fare too well in the storm. After coming through what we came through yesterday, we could well understand. Some of the windows were smashed, but not much other visable damage!
