AN ARGENTINIAN WELCOME!

On crossing the Argentinian frontier from Chile on Terra del Fuego, the first sign you see isn't "WELCOME TO ARGENTINA!!". Some Fueguains still think the Islas Malvinas are part of the province of Terra del Fuego, and the sentiment is very evident in this part of Argentina. Poigniantly, we were in this area on Rememberance Sunday. There are signs and memorials in every village, town and municipal building in Terra del Fuego, but we felt it was insensitive and disrespectful to take photos of the official sites. This daubing was at a veiw point on the Garabaldi Pass and was sufficiently remote and deserted to snap theses pictures without offending anyone!
