This is the most southerly point of the Chilean railroad and paved highway. When we arrived there was a misty rain, very much like the NW beaches of Oregon. There was about a block-long local artesania shopping area which we perused. Found two indigenous masks to add to my growing collection then grabbed a taxi to find a ATM. Deb got some money and we headed for the ship to get out of the cold rain. Spent the rest of the day reading by the ship's covered pool.
If you've seen pictures of the North Atlantic, I"m telling you, the southern Pacific is worse. The swells are further apart and very high--close to 20 ft. The wind is blowing and has been for two days--I threw up! But after seasick pills I felt better. All is well now with only misty rain. Hopefully tomorrow's sail to Valparaiso will be smooth. Stay tuned . .
Tonight we are back out in the Pacific; we hope for calmer weather but are doing OK with our anti-nausea pills.
