Welp, it is good to be back on dry land. As i sit here in Café & Books in Puerto Natales, sipping coffee and reflecting on my trip at sea, i have trouble being anything but optimistic about the next few months i will spend in Chile. While i seemed to be in the minority on the boat being unable to speak multiple languages fluently, traveling without a companion, and having but one stamp on my passport - rather than being an overwhelming and lonely experience i learned that everyone needs to start somewhere. And i am starting right now.
The trip was beautiful and traveling by boat was a very unique way to take in the landscape. Or seascape...? Either way, the Chilean coastline is a seemingly endless expanse of jagged mountain peaks and coastal inlets. Often, one finds themself simply staring at the horizon, mouth agape, wondering what's around the next bend or beyond a subsequent ridge of mountains. The Pacific Ocean is truly daunting and immense in terms of size and power. The affect does not translate well over film and is difficult to express with words.
Ben - the first photo hardly looks like a seascape! How did you get that from the boat??
