Adventures of Cameron & Emma in Buenos Aires

Ok. So we have a few more posts about Punta Del Este…

Our third night at the Moby Dick, Zach and I decided to show Cameron and Preston where the Uruguayans took us the night before. We walked along the docks, looking at boats and planning how we could somehow get into one without getting into trouble. We were then more than excited to stumble upon two very large South American Sea Lions. The Uruguayans kept referring to them in English as Sea Tigers, and it never ceased to entertain me that night. South American Sea Lions are HUGE and kinda crazy looking. Their faces look exactly like that animal in Never Ending Story. EXACTLY. Although, (as stated in an earlier blog) Cameron has a dislike for large animals, Zach, Preston and I were more than happy to get close to them… but I got the impression that they didn’t like us interrupting their sleep (I can’t blame them… I’d be so annoyed). Anyhow they seemed a bit grumpy, but maybe sea lions are just always grumpy, I’m really not sure. We spent a good forty-five minutes attempting to get close to the semi-sleeping beasts and we have many pictures to prove it. Looking back, it might not have been the smartest thing, getting so close to wild sea animals, but at the time we thought it was the perfect thing to do… I guess Moby Dick has that affect on people.
