Tuesday in Algarrobo the destination of our walk on the beach was the "island" that's really a peninsula. This island has wild penguins living on it so of course we had to go explore! We got to the gate to enter the "island" that's really a peninsula and the guard there wouldn't let us in. With a little persuasion from Kim he finally let us pass. We walked to the island part of the peninsula only to be stopped by another gate, but this one without an easily persuaded guard. It was just a locked gate, so what do we do? Climb around the gate of course. It was a little tricky so only me, Jamie, and Paige went. The "island" that's really a peninsula was full of seagulls that really made a lot of noise when we invaded their privacy. We walked around the "island" that's really a peninsula trying to find the penguins. We had to climb all over bird poop covered rocks and bird carcasses to get to a point where we could see penguins. We saw three!!! We weren't really close, but it was the coolest thing ever to see penguins in the wild!
