Aquixtla, Puebla, México 20 April 20193 January 2019 / Prof Hilary / Leave a comment Aquixtla is a small town up the mountain in Puebla. I stumbled upon it as I missed my stop and this was the next city.The day before they had a major celebration as the feast for Jesus their father.The church was surely a gem.
Tierra del Fuego + Pingüino Rey, Patagonia, Chile 6 April 201931 December 2018 / Prof Hilary / Leave a comment An elephant seal.King Penguins. Very tall.The King Penguin park used to be a farm…A penguin turning into an adult.Tierra de Fuego’s capital has a museum.Which tells the story of the natives getting massacred in favour of the settlers’ sheeps.The sheep place in the beginning.Still loads of ships.Penguins started showing up and people took pictures with them with costumes and stuff, so the owner turned it into a park instead.The penguins are wild and quite far away, but there are some very good hi-spy binoculars.A small park commemorating the dead natives. They insisted that they were “good-looking”.The ferry to the island took 2 hours.
