The captain and crew left us a farewell note quoting the sage Anonymous who said:
"I would gladly live out of a suitcase if it meant I could see the world." Hilary packed up and Gabe unpacked as segment one ended and segment two began.
Meanwhile instead of venturing far afield we explored the local port town of San Antonio, Chile's largest harbor. We began with the sea lion dotted beach by the port's Paseo Bellamar, harbor promenade until El Faro the lighthouse, and then continued to the Humedal Rio Malpo Park, a wetland ecosystem filled with birds and critters like zorro chilote (Darwin’s fox), and finally ended up at the San Antonio Museo de Historia Natural e Histórico.
The museum's curator gave us a personal tour of the museo complete with showing us the jewel of a whale skeleton and then the stunning overlook of the port estuary. She concluded the tour by asking to take a selfie with us--True Chilean hospitality showed me the way of service.
