The Short Way Down: Leaving The End Of The World Behind
http://theshortwaydown.blogspot.com/2009/02/leaving-end-of-world-behind.html
Thursday, February 5, 2009. Leaving The End Of The World Behind. Statue in Puerto Natales. The Hostal I stayed in, I was very well received. Sun Feb. 1. This morning leaving Ushuaia and the end of the world behind, I rode out of town in a steady rain. Can’t complain though, because I have been very fortunate as far as weather goes in this part of the world. To come into Ushuaia for the very first time and have a day with no rain and even some sunshine, it’s a good day! Ummmm, Well, Uh! The Party Is Over!
