Today was mostly a traveling day. I took one last walk around the town in Easter Island, then stopped at a cafe to read a book about the town's history. I didn't finish the whole book, of course, but I got through the time of its discovery by europeans. And I did my "speed reading" trick for most of it, where I just read the first sentence of each paragraph. It worked in high school lit classes for boring stuff like
The House of the Seven Gables.

Between noon and 9pm, I was enroute from Easter Island to Santiago (I sprang ahead two hours, too. Or at least I think I did -- I actually have no idea if I'm writing this at 10:40 or 11:40 local time). Since I arrived in Santiago so late, I only had time to run down the street to grab dinner. Walking back, I happened to notice this hovering far above the city:
I'm armed with a map and a guidebook of the city, and hope to have fun exploring the next couple of days.

What is that last picture? I can tell its a maiden but is it a statue?
