the Falklands?

OK, in a year from today, 1/28/12, I'll be in Stanley, Falkland Islands, or, if one has Argentinian sympathies, the Islas Malvinas. I know nothing about the Falkland Islands except that Britain and Argentina went into a somewhat silly set-to over them some years back. According to Wikipedia, "virtually the entire area of the islands is used as pasture for sheep," which is a perfectly fine profession, and might be very appealing to the overstimulated for the ultimate getaway vacation ("Come to the peaceful Falklands, watch the sheep wander out to pasture, take a nap, watch the sheep wander back from pasture.") But we're only going to be there for a day, and we're already on vacation. Let's see what Weather Underground has to say about the weather. Well, today late afternoon, it's 54 degrees Fahrenheit and 82% humidity -- I suppose islands generally have high humidity, what with all that ocean all over the place, and 54 degrees isn't awful. Oh, wait, look back at Wikipedia: they have PENGUINS!





Penguins. OK, I'm reconciled to the Falklands.
