Photos finally! Pinguinos!

Here are some pinguinos!  They love the shade of the walkways, and it was helpful because we could see them up close.  It was a perfect day when we were there.  No wind, no rain, warm sun, and just perfect conditions. The adults are silent unless another adult comes up, but the young ones (above) are squalking constantly.  One of their parents have headed to the Ocean for food for a couple days.  They are impatient waiting for the food to return--typical kids.

When the pinguinos get on the walkway, you cannot go within 3 feet of them, so if they are near the edge, no problem, but toward the end of our day, we got stuck behind a curious penguin who kept toddling along the middle of the walkway bridge and no one could go past--it was comical and suspenseful.  I thought of the movie Happy Feet because he was so curious and a definite non-conformist.
