Enjoying your trip. I spent a couple of Christmas vacations in Arica, while working in high altitude La Paz, Bolivia for a couple of years in the late 90s. Going over the Andes was an adventure in itself… and then being at sea level was a great relief…

Thank you Doris and Louis – fascinating reading…and viewing of course:-)

If you’re interested in learning a little more recent history of Chile, Isabel Allende’s novel ” A Long Petal of the Sea” is a fictional account of a family that fled to Chile after the Spanish Civil War. Enjoyable reading whether you’re particularly interested in Chile or not. But I hope you get to try some of the wines – they’re really good:-)

Thank you for the marvelous education, Partout! It’s always a pleasure to see what you have in store for us. Good luck in the fjords, we will be thinking of you. 🥰

I’m enjoying your description of your voyage so much and, especially, with this episode, the photos of the buildings with such interesting architecture in a place I’ve never been to and hear little about (except the tragic time during the Pinochet era.) One thing I’m wondering about, having not been on a cruise since I was 20, is what are the other passengers like?

  We visited the capital of Chili, Santiago de Chili, on our way to Easter Island (and on the way back again) and we loved the city but there is much more to see reading your interesting story .
  The fjords will be wonderful!

Hello way down there, way down and further south to go! I will go directly to Google after writing this and find out what saltpeter is for. Rumor had it in high school it was added to food to curb teen sexual desires. I hope the blender turns to its lowest setting soon. But a fjord might be cozy. Thank you for writing and hope to hear again soon. k
