January 5, 2024 - The number One Steakhouse in the World

 In doing my research on Buenos Aires, I came across several articles on the quality of beef here. One restaurant in particular kept being mentioned as the number one steakhouse in the world. So, with that piece of information, Sheryl made a reservation at Don Julio's (the reservations were made 4 months in advance). Even with that reservation, we found ourselves in this lineup.

Once inside, though, we were treated like royalty. As we entered the restaurant, we were given a glass of wine to enjoy while we looked at the menu. We were also treated to an appetiser and a fresh tomato, cut and served table side. 

Apparently, Don Julio is also famous for their homegrown tomatoes. They even have a separate menu of tomato options (over 15 different types of tomatoes). If you look closely at the wall behind us, those are fresh tomatoes still on the vine.



But of course, the main reason for us to be here was the steak, and a tomahawk steak it was to be.

And after. 
Now I haven't been to all the steak houses in the world, so I cannot say if this is the best, but it was undoubtedly the best I have ever had.


And after dinner, we took what was left back to the hotel.

January 13, 2024 - Happy Anniversary

  Penguins, they're everywhere, they're everywhere! This is an Argentinian base. Because of the Avian flu and COVID, we were not allowed to land here but did have the tour by Zodiak. This picture doesn't do justice to how many penguins there are, but there are hundreds of penguins on the land in this photo. The morning expedition over and back on the ship with a nice hot chocolate. A quick lunch, and then we step foot in Antarctica. Nothing says I love you more than getting your 23rd-anniversary card the same day you step onto a new continent. And here is our welcoming party. These are Adelie penguins. Penguins can be found all over the southern hemisphere, but the Emperor and Adelie penguins are found only in Antarctica. The Adélie penguin is the most common penguin here. Much smaller than the Emperor penguin, Adelie's max out at 2 1/2 feet tall and 18 pounds in weight. And another beautiful picture of the continent of Antarctica. Back on the ship, we enjoyed a special...

January 9, 2024 - Welcome to the bottom of the world

 We were up bright and early today to catch a short 3-hour and 40-minute flight to Ushuaia, Argentina. No, that was not our plane, and yes, that is our cruise ship behind us (on the left). Using the Google Translate App, you will see that "Fin del mundo" translates to "End of the world". Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the world, with 83,000 residents living just below the 54th parallel south latitude. So after a bit of tourist shopping, we could officially say, "Been there, done that, got the T-shirt" (and yes, we bought a T-shirt). With a T-shirt in hand, we headed to our ship, The Seaboune Venture. This ship will be our home for the next 12 days. Once on board, we were advised by the captain that the next day may be a little rough, but hey, how bad could it get...
