Puerto Mondtt

 

A little fishing and Chilean Navy town with a distinct Scandinavian flavor, eatablished by German immigrants. Seafood and also fruit are sold pretty much at every street corner.

 

And then there is this. The closest of three volcanoes. There are tours to at least one of them. I got sick and missed out and then ran out of time. Too bad. One of the ladies who ran the hostal showed me a picture on her phone of the same volcano with a huge plume above it. Lucky for Puerto Mundtt, the winds carried the ash and gases away from town. It was an eruption I had heard about in the USA.

 

 

 

There is a large, multi-level, shopping mall here as well.

 

 

 

A cute lady cop who wanted to hide behind the column, but I stopped her and motioned her to stay in the picture.

 

Shopping is what you do, when the weather turns brisk and wintry. I was here in spring, but very early, so it was still miserable at times.

 

The movie hadn't been out by then yet. I can imagine that these die-heart fans by now are pretty disappointed by what the mindless writers of Disney served up. A movie that, IMO, was butchered and chopped and mindlessly thrown together, with a non-sensical storyline that made a mockery of George Lucas' labor of love. Shameful, and all this while there are dozens of excellent, well written, Star Wars books on the shelves where none of the writers step on the grand scheme or each other's timeline of events in the Star Wars universe, respected by all of them. Leave it to some guys, driven only by the pursuit of money and the need for political correctness, to ruin it all.

 

Probably edible, but no clue what they are. He does have a North Korean haircut
An interesting church that I unfortunately did not go in to check out.

 

 

At least to me, this gives me a quite Scandinavian feel, The island to the right can be visited and I have a picture section on that.

 

As I said, it's a Chilean Navy town
