Calmer today. 13C. It's warming up!
Today we were at sea, travelling north in the Pacific along the coast of Chile.
Chile is long and narrow, with over 6000 km of Pacific coastline. Chile has 92 active volcanoes.
The northern part of the country was ruled by Inca and the south by native Mapuche people before Spanish colonization in the 1500's. Chile gained independence from Spain in 1810.
Interesting fact: Chile is the only country in the world where water is privately owned. According to civicus.org:
"Water ownership was separated from land ownership, so that there are water owners who have no land and landowners who have no water. It is the state's prerogative to grant rights for water use. "
Today we did our usual Milos presentation (Weather and Climate), and did some reading. Frankie is on book #3 but she realized that she has read it before. Too bad she didn't pack 4 books like she wanted to!!!
Anton decided to treat Frankie to an onboard massage for her birthday (he can never figure out what to get her), even though her birthday isn't for another month. Frankie had forgotten just how much OIL the ship massages use! And gosh darn, there was almost some soft porn going on, the massage therapist was NOT shy! There's no way Frankie would allow Anton to get one of these massages LOL.
While she was doing that, he disappeared for a nap.
Frankie finished the massage just in time for a matinee performance from Doug Cameron, the awesome violinist from last night.
Dinner was evening chic. That means perfume night, blech. Thanks to our awesome neighbour Coleen for this wonderful and versatile shawl (it also serves as a blanket on the airplane 😀).
The show tonight was the magician again.
