Punta Arenas

 

 

In the distance I saw this and just had to go. It was a long and very cold walk - and when I finally got there, not worth it. These ships, or rather hulls, were definitely old.

 

However, I discovered that the Chilean Navy was controlling the area and had guards posted and access was restricted. This was the best I could do.

 

 

 

 

When I finally got back, I saw that the navy reserve had a party going on and was getting the kids, parents, and young people motivated for a beach clean-up walk (and do a little recruiting, while at it). I stopped to chat with the commander. There was lots of music, dancing, refreshments, and 'party animals'.

 

Across the street one of the coolest displays of wall art. Those murals were masterfully done and depict this area as it looked in the days of whaling.

The best is yet to come :-)
