Today, my parents, my friend Joanna, and I went on an all day tour to Isla Damas. I think the pictures say it all. Enjoy!

In addition we saw many gulls, regular cormorants and a sand piper, I think. The fisherman at the docks were busy bringing in their morning catch of mackrel, congrio, and sea weed.

Looks like you had a great day. Better than the tour I took in Alaska to see the sea lions. What close ups
Great pictures. Blizzard is forecast for tomorrow…snow with winds up to 50 miles per hour… Oh I wish I was in Chile….
