This photo always makes me smile.
The penguins in Puerto Madryn, Argentina would let you come up close and take pictures.
(Actually, I’m sure they thought they were the ones coming up close to inspect us!)

Hope so, too! They were a highlight of our trip and I was begging hubby for us to go see them twice, haha! They really were adorable. And for wild animals, very tame.

Very nice shot!
I can hear those penguins talking now: hey, Gob, look at those strange animals over there. They are ugly if you ask me. Let’s get a better look at those creatures.

I thought I heard them say that…! They also seem to be laughing at us? 🙂 They actually started wobbling towards us as soon as we arrived, clearly they just wanted to say hello to the zoo animals..! Oh well.

Yep. They’re probably blogging about us right now on PenguinWordPress.com… 😉

I heard of that site…I wonder what it takes to get freshly pressed for a penguin blogger…photos of tourists and words describing their silliness…and odor, maybe.

It was cuteness overload! I didn’t realise how adorable they would be until we saw them! So curious, they just came up close to have a better look… and some just stayed behind relaxing horizontally (like the one in the background of the two guys chatting!)
