Falkland Islands

Well, we are in the Falkland Islands this morning. Bud got up about 5 and watched us come into port. We are VERY lucky because the seas are fairly calm. We are tied up at a pier so we will go into the town of Stanley this morning. We have two choices of tours this morning, a city tour or a nature walk. We decided to go on the city tour even though it is a very small city. We want to hear the history of the city and the islands. We have the afternoon free so we will stay in for lunch and then go on a walk by ourselves without a guide. Tomorrow we go to 2 different islands for bird and penguin watching. According to our guides the penguins come right up to the people so we should have some great pictures to pass on tomorrow night or the next day.
Thank you for the news from home. It was a nice surprise about Josh getting married. I am a happy aunt. We have just 3 more nights on the boat before the end of our trip. It sure has been a wonderful experience. We took lots of pictures so we will edit them before showing them. We both have cameras and since they are digital we just snap away.
I am making my post early this morning while Bud is taking his shower after his early morning time on deck. The weather is much cooler here, I think it is in the 40s or so. The sun was shining earlier but it is cloudy now. I hope it comes back out.
More pictures to come.
