Apparently I misread the brochure, because we did not get to hunt and eat our own whale. Instead, we rode around in a small boat and watched them. That turned out to be fun and beautiful. We are in Puerto Madryn on the eastern coast of Argentina, a scenic spot that reminds me of Cape Cod.
Right whales from the southern hemisphere migrate here to breed. This caught my attention, as I have a longstanding scientific interest in the breeding habits of enormously large mammals. But it turns out that stuff happens underwater and is mostly done for the season. So we spent a lovely afternoon observing these majestic creatures.
And penguins, too!
CJ, environmental warrior and whale enthusiast, was delighted by the outing. This evening we head further south, almost to the tip of the continent.

i hope you were able to keep your enormously large mammel mating interest "scientific". despite his impeccable credentials, cj looks like he is about to throw up on somebody's (maybe leah's?) head! i also noticed his blood red lips against his pale skin just a few days before halloween...vlad the impaler?
