We finally got a chance to walk to the center of San Pedro for a look.
We finally got a chance to walk to the center of San Pedro for a look.
 |
| The main plaza of San Pedro. It was quite lively because it was a long-weekend holiday. While "Halloween" is not observed in Chile, 1 November is All Saints Day, a major holiday. There were a lot of small shops set up in the plaza selling artwork of various sorts, t-shirts, and souvenirs. |
 |
| The town church is an old adobe structure. |
 |
| The church gates are made of cactus wood. We weren't able to go inside for a peek, but the interior of the church is also made of cactus wood. |
 |
| This artist was making woodburning designs using a magnifying glass as his source of heat. |
 |
| This mobile juice stand had wonderful drinks from fresh fruit. Lon had an orange juice, and I had a lemonade with "rica-rica", a local herb. |
 |
| This dog clearly read the sign that said he was not allowed inside! |
 |
| Equal time for cats - a black cat on Halloween. |
 |
| The afternoon brought not-so-distant storm clouds over the Andes in Bolivia and Argentina. They did not make it over to San Pedro. |
 |
| Storm clouds behind Volcan Licambur. |
 |
| A crescent moon set as we were having our farewell dinner al fresco. Even this sliver of moon made it difficult to see the magnificent southern hemisphere Milky Way. |
