We had no plans for Coquimbo. It looks very similar to Valparaiso,
with hills rising on all sides. But
that's where the similarity ends. There
is squalor everywhere and none of the charm of Valparaiso.
The most interesting thing here is the sea
lions along the water.
Another
interesting thing is the way buildings are built right on top of huge
rocks.
We walked toward the downtown
area, but it was so depressing that we returned to the ship after a short
time. One thing we were surprised at, though, is
how clean the streets are. No trash
anywhere.
Since we haven't had much exercise on shore, we're counting
on our many trips up and down the stairs for our aerobics. We're on deck 10, the food is on 15, and
services, such as the library and shops are on 6 through 8. So with three meals plus tea every day, we're
getting a lot of exercise.
We sailed for San Martin, Peru,
at 5:30.
