Day 22 - Tengo Frio!


I am cold but the wind is not as strong as yesterday. 
In fact by the time we made Port Madryn, it was decidely warmer and it tempted me to a swim! But the water is only 14 degrees.

Port Madryn is on the way to Buenos Aires, so today was the last ride in Guanaco country, the Steppe of Argentina. I only saw four. 

This town was founded by the Welsh, who still have about 40% of the population. Their "big thing" was that they built a perfect workable relationship with the native people, which lasts to this day. So Madryn with it aluminium smelter and fishing fleet was the only town in Argentina to survive the recessions (two) without going into recession. 

Tomorrow we go out on a boat - Im not sure what that will actually intail!
