Mar 3 - Sea Day


Sam was so excited about the penguins yesterday that he forgot to tell about the other animals that he saw. At the penguin rookery, a protected environmental area, other native animals can be seen as well. They have learned that they are safe when eating in the area. Sam saw many of the guanacos. They are about the size of deer, reddish in color with white markings. Sam also saw the rheas. They look like emus. Because the color of their feathers is similar to the color of the local bushes, sometimes they are referred to as “walking bushes”.  Then Sam the really big rabbit or Argentinian hare. It was probably 3 foot tall when sitting on its haunches. Like a small dog in size.

Today the ship is at sea all day. The waves are about 15 foot high. There is a lot of rocking…….. Sam likes going around the ship and watching passengers try to walk when the ship is moving like this! Funny!!
Tomorrow Sam will be in Uruguay.
