Time is getting short

Friday I stayed in camp and Suzanne and Rob went to get a SIM card for Suzanne's phone and the part to fix the trailer.  They had a successful trip and while Rob worked on the trailer, Suzanne and I went for a swim.

Rob cooked another great meal and the evening was lovely.

Saturday we head for the ferry to Chiloe, the second largest island on the South American coast.

Suzanne on the ferry.

We drive about half way down the island to the town of Castro, which was founded in 1567.  First, we visit the Iglesias San Francisco on the Plaza de Armas, a neogothic wooden church built in the early 1900's.

Then we walk to the waterfront for Curanto, a traditional dish served in a wooden bowl which is full of mussels, clams, chicken, pork, and a steamed potato dumpling with a sauce for dipping.  Our restaurant from the water....yes, we went out in a boat to see the palafitos (stilt houses)

The view of town..

Who knows what tomorrow will bring....it will be my last full day with Rob and Suzanne, so we will make it a good one.

One comment on the campgrounds......this one is full with 3 or 4 tents in each site and the camp is active until 11pm or midnight as people laugh and talk and play their music, while the children run all over playing games and having fun.  In the morning, however, people sleep late and camp is quiet until 9 or 9:30.  Chileans, including children, go to bed late and sleep late.
