Yooowwwzah! I requested a private room!

We had a lot of unique and interesting experiences in Ushuaia like visiting the old prison, for example. Carcel Antiguo, the old prison, is an Alcatraz-like prison founded in 1902 as part of an Argentine effort to colonize the area and rid themselves of their most dangerous criminals at the same time.

In addition to visiting with the friendly folks in the prison, we hiked to the end of the world along the scenic Beagle Channel, did some beaver watching (heh, heh, heh), took a boat tour out to the amazingly lush islands in the channel where we saw sea lions, dolphin gulls, imperial cormorants and rock cormarants (which are a kind of a cross between a frigate and a penguin). We also sampled the king crab, sea bass, and the local micro-brew. Of course!

I can't believe no one has made a comment on this picture...I notice you're doing a lot of microbrew sampling too; so did you know that you can experience our microbrew in Mississippi?!
