It's the end of the world!!

Another check off my Bucket List - I have been to the end of the world and back!!! Today we visited the world's southernmost city - Ushuaia, Argentina on the southern side of Tierra del Fuego. Our tour was scheduled for the afternoon so Michelle and I decided to get our first true Argentinian meal. While window shopping we found a place with lomo a la brasa in the window and decided that was the place - good choice. We got one order of king crab, native and fresh in Tierra del Fuego, and one order of lomo (lamb) another local specialty. We watched our meal prepared a la brasa (grill), filled our bellies, and then rolled ourselves back for the tour. We figured we needed the energy if we were going to make it all the way to the end of the world!
The name of the game so far has been amazing scenery and Tierra del Fuego has been the highlight. Gorgeous cragged mountains (think Switzerland) and pristine mountain lakes (think Colorado).
The 'official' end of the world is the end of the Panamerican Highway, nearly 18,000 miles opposite Fairbanks, Alaska.
