Wow it is Monday Again

Finally some time to catch up. We have been off the ship the last two days and busy while sailing to the next port. We are still loving the sea days, and have had much fun in the south of South America.

So Saturday was a day in Punta Arenas, Chile. This was a lovely little Chilean port town with a typical cathedral and one of the top 10 cemeteries in South America. It seemed a little strange to take pictures in a cemetery but since it was a highly recommended tourist attraction I was like everyone else and took pictures. The Cathedral was very beautiful inside and we were happy to see that there was little graffiti on it from the Chilean protesters.



                                      A look down one row of  the above ground graves at the cemetery.
                                                   The trees were very unusual too.  European cypress.


Steve between the rows of trees at the cemetery.
Sadly the protesters had gotten into the cemetery and defaced this mausoleum.

                                Another example of the huge mausoleums in the cemetery.



Yes my feet are in the Pacific Ocean in February south of the equator. Our ship at anchor. It was a water shuttle port that went much more smoothly than Easter Island. And I know we have missed a few selfie days.

Signing off for now. The internet makes loading pictures from the phone or camera to the tablet time consuming and we are getting ready for another Tuscan wine pairing dinner tonight. Will post tomorrow about Ushuaia, Argentina, and our Sunday adventures.
