Somos un grupo de estudiantes del Traductorado Técnico Científico Literario de Inglés, del Instituto New Start; nuestros nombres son Olga Lopez, Silvana Ríos Buhaidar, y Natalia Tolosa.

El proyecto de la Web Site surgió en una clase de Lengua Inglesa I, propuesto por las profesoras de la cátedra, Yolanda Inés Mendez y Alicia María Baetti.

Esta página es el resultado de un trabajo grupal concebido previo a nuestro viaje a Península Valdés. Al planear el itinerario, se distribuyeron los diferentes temas de acuerdo a los puntos de interés de cada una. A pesar de dicha distribución el desarrollo de los mismos ha sido un trabajo cooperativo en el que se conjugaron ideas, objetivos, metas, obteniendo así una integración de las partes.

Nuestros agradecimientos están dirigidos a:

- A nuestras profesoras, Alicia y Yolanda, por sus inteligentes observaciones en el boceto previo, lo cual nos ayudó a mejorar nuestro uso de la lengua inglesa.

The start of this magic trip began in our classes. We planned it very well with happiness and love, and all the things we imagined a few weeks ago were true on 6th October in Plaza de Los Bomberos ( in Paraná, our city ) when we got on the bus.

After 23 hours on the coach we arrived to Puerto Madryn, a beautiful city, with friendly people. We stayed in apartments in groups of four or six, we really enjoyed this because we had to cook our meal, and it was great fun.

We were astonished watching the whales, they came so near to our boat that it was unbelievable. Also, in the playa El Doradillo ( beach ) we could see them very near.

In Caleta Valdés the sea elephants surprised us too, we spent our time staring at the incredible natural view; in Punta Tombo the same happened to us. There were many penguins which are really very funny, especially because of the way they walk.

We liked the visit to Gaiman where we saw the tea house where Lady Diana Spencer was.

We had the opportunity to practise our English as the tour guide spoke in this language most of the time.

In the evening we had a fantastic time dancing at a disco, where the people were very kind to us.

Our adventure did not finish there, some of us went diving and others sunbathed in the beach.

During the returning journey we stopped in Sierra Grande ( Province of Río Negro ) to visit the iron mine, where we were explained how people work there, we really felt as miners.

Now, after staying in Peninsula Valdés for a week, we know that it is another world, a wonderful place in Argentina. We enjoyed a lot the marvellous adventure of visiting this place, we will never forget it.
