Well, there is more than one way to skin a cat! The cat I´m trying to skin is a Spanish computer. My computer is being stored at yesterday´s hostel (along with a bunch of other junk) until I return from Los Torres. I´m in a different hostel now because they were full tonight. I couldn´t sign onto the blog because somebody else is signed on and I couldn´t sign them off. So, I changed browsers and I am signed on here (in English).
The Spanish keyboard has some differences. My favourite is the ¿ key. Spanish questions have a ¿ at the front and a ? at the back. Example ¿Donde esta la baño? They also have a € key (Euros) and two different shifts for most of the keys. However, acting like a "Monkey writing the Encyclopedia Britannica" I manged to fumble my way through it.
Onto today. I headed downtown towards the docks and got caught in wind and showers. It´s been black and ugly most of the day.
Down at the waterfront is this boat graveyard. Mostly wooden boats, 25 - 30 feet long. The one in the centre has "Se vende" painted on it. ¿Any takers?
It got miserable after this, so I wandered around with the camera in my pocket. It´s nicer now, so I might take another shot or two, but don´t hold your breath.
I´m off to Torres del Paine for 7 days, returning on the 26th. I have a rest day on the 27th, so I hope to have some spectacular pictures for you. Then over to Calafate on the 28th (bus and room booked).
A couple of last minute comments. This browser doesn´t have a spell checker, so I apologize in advance for the (poorer than usual) typing. Also, the clouds have lifted - there is some fresh snow on the tops of the mountains!
Last photo - check out the colour of my bedspread. I´ll have to sleep with sunglasses on.
The town doesn't look like a frontier town. It is bigger than Kye Bay.
