Saturday I slept in finally and then just did some shopping in town. Chocolates, gifts, more socks . . . . It’s still strange to me how everything just shuts down on Sundays. Most stores are closed all day and even the restaurants are closed or have much shorter hours. Even in Buenos Aires. Also, in smaller towns shops are usually closed in the afternoon, from about one to four or five. I guess it makes sense since most people are at work during that time but it’s still strange to adjust too.
So ya, besides that all I really did was eat dinner with everyone in the hostel. Siscu cooked paella that was delicious. I got the recipe from him and I’m gonna try it out soon!
Sunday . . . . walked around town with Guillermo and Siscu. Found some really pretty views of the city. In the afternoon some other people from the hostel and I went on a boat tour of the Beagle Channel. It was pretty expensive and really touristy but it was worth it. It took us out to an island from which you have a great view of the city. Then an island with sea lions, an island with these birds that look like penguins but aren’t actually penguins (they could fly). And lastly we went past a lighthouse, which everyone calls the lighthouse at the end of the world even though the most austral lighthouse is actually on Staten Island which is off the coast of Tierra del Fuego.
