I just uploaded about 350 photos from Ushuaia and vicinity. To see, check my photo site.

For the past number of years, I've been dreaming of travelling extensively in Latin America—just me, my backpack, and my camera. Well, the time has finally come.
In early 2008, I'll be flying one-way to Rio de Janeiro. I figured I should start things off with a bang, so I'll be attending the biggest party in the world—Carnaval in Rio.
From there, I'll head south until I bump into the Drake Passage. At that point, I'll have no choice but to turn around. After skipping along the spine of the Andes and arriving in Peru, I'll jump in the water and float all the way down the Amazon River until arriving at the Atlantic Ocean. From there I'll head north until I've polished off the few remaining South American countries.
Next in line is Central America. I'll visit some friends in Nicaragua as I'm hopscotching my way back to North America.
After arriving on my home continent, I'll visit some friends in Puebla, near Mexico City, before making my way to San Diego, where I'll hop a flight back to the Pacific Northwest.
The way I figure it, I'll have backpacked some 20,000 miles between Rio and San Diego—if I make it that far.

Having just been to an airshow I would have to say I like # 84 of your favorites. Nice picture!

Hey, Mike.
Yeah, I like that one, too—obviously! I think it's really cool how the feathers at the wingtips of the two birds are positioned differently. I didn't know they could do that! How cool! Also, the shape of the wings is different between the two birds. I guess they've got more control than a computerized plane with canards and winglets and independently-adjustable elevators and dual vertical stabilizers and....
These two birds were having a little chase. Pretty fun—for me and them.
