Yesterday we spent the bulk of the afternoon and evening meeting several fellow voyagers and visiting historic sites in Santiago. The cultural highlight was a museum with several historic artifacts from the last several thousand years found throughout South America. The collection was quite impressive. Becky snapped a few photos of some of the more interesting pieces. The statues in this picture were about 9 to 10 feet tall and used effectively as tombstones by an ancient indigenous people who once lived in southern Chile.
After returning from our tour we had drinks and dinner with the other passengers. We met several nice people from all over the United States. The majority of the people traveling with us are from the U.S. There are a few from Europe as well.
We leave Ushuaia this morning. From there we board the Explorer for Antarctica. We may not have an opportunity to post again until we return.
