Puerto Madryn is on the coast of the most desolate part of Argentina's Patagonia. Settlers had a very rugged time settling the area and a drive down the coast drives that point home -- see the landscape where the Guanacos hang out (below). The day's activities included a very well developed paleontology museum... a leisurely (and tepid) float down a little river... and a visit to a farmer who collects rocks as a hobby. It was not one of the best days (by a long shot) but it did have its moments. And we selected the highlights for a quick tour. |

 Dock activity... on to buses |
 The harbor |
 Working the next ship |
 Abandoned ship derelicts |
 Bleak and barren landscape |
 Argentinian Guanacos |
 The Museum |
 Big muncher |
 Very old native. |
 Giant seashell |
 Some dinosaurs were very small... |
 and very very big! |
 And mid-sized... |
 Reconstruction continues |
 On to the river float trip |
 Not exactly white water excitement... |
 But artful branches... |
 A little un-wild life |
 And a graceful image... |
 Another picturesque stump... |
 Muskrats galore? |
 In the home stretch |
 Serenade at the landing |
 Peaceful fields |
 Then to visit a farmer who collects... |
 STONES! |
 and more stones... |
 and a pet parrot! |
 So... most of the action in Peurto Madryn was at the dock... |
