Marina de las Pampas


Much about this place reminds me of Weld, our summer Camp in Maine. Can't drink the water. Electricity goes out in a thunderstorm. Insects. Weld has the Lake and Las Pampas has the Atlantic, and both have a bungalow with a view and a restful ambiance.
Numerous sea perch washed up from the muddied surf. We suspect they drowned.  The roiling sea picked up sand and may have robbed the fish of clean water in their gills.


Anna tilts toward Antarctica. (May have been the cameraman.)

View South to the "end of the world" and Antarctica. --->
The cabanas of Marina de las Pampas, ours on the left.
Beach vendors selling everything from selfie sticks to kites.

Anna suspects these are egg casings, perhaps of aliens.  They appear half-filled with water and perhaps, in reality, are parts of jellyfish. We will consult scientists as soon as the Internet comes on again.
