I enjoy trying out new food… especially when it is a specialty for an area.
Being in Argentina, I had to try the steak, even though I rarely eat any. It was good.
Adriana Bertola introduced me to a “Submarino,” which is hot milk served with a chocolate bar to melt in it. A delicious twist on hot chocolate!
And she encouraged Perito and me to try Alfajor (cookie) Maicena (cornstarch), a cookie containing Dulce de Leche (caramel sauce). As Adriana would say, “It’s super delicious.”
Wow! Roll me out the door with an impending sugar coma.
We rounded a corner and then went up to the Magellan Penguin nesting area. We walked so close to them that we could have touched them if we had wanted to. The males use their beaks to dig out one nest during their lifetime. What a lot of work! And they mate for life.
Tristan added a rainbow for our return trip.
First we walked near the Gentoo penguins that had migrated from Antarctica. It is believed they followed a ship for the 36-hour crossing. There are about 80 of this type on the island. They construct their nests out of pebbles.
