I’m Finally Here!!
Well, hello! Today is my very first posting as a blogger, now you can know what’s happening with me here in Chile. This weekend, Steve and I went to Coquimbo to the mercado de pescados, the fish market. It was a big, stinky, very cool place. We didn’t buy anything, just walked around. They were selling all kinds of fish, sea urchins, octopus, and they even sell cups of raw fish for you to enjoy as you walk around. We weren’t that adventurous yet. The highlight for me was going out on the pier and seeing the sea lions, a family of 5. The fisherman were cleaning some of their fish there and throwing the sea lions the heads. There were also pelicans and seagulls vying for the fishermen’s attention. After the market, we drove around Coquimbo, which is a town nestled in the rocks along the sea. We then went to La Cruz del Tercer Milenio, the cross of the 3 millenniums, which is a monument to the third millennium of Christ on earth. It stands 93 meters tall, and we were able to go up to the arms of the cross and look over the surrounding area. There was a museum dedicated to Pope John Paul II, and we were able to see some of his possessions.

Love the website. Especially the picture of the seal! Found some tickets for 1088 today. Almost brought them! Goes through Buenes Aires on United. Leaves US from DC (Dulles).
