WHAT IS THE TRAVEL WRITING LIFE REALLY LIKE? IS IT AS GREAT AS PEOPLE THINK? I HOPE TO COME TO SOME CONCLUSIONS AS I SHARE MY TRIPS AND TRAVAILS.

Shipping out and Shifting Changes

by Kent St. John on December 12, 2009


Today I leave Puerto Natales for a ship from Chile to Argentina rounding Cape Horn and making zodiac pit stops along the way. For four nights I will be at sea, no internet and plenty of time to read and write. I am looking forward to some down time, a chance to chill with just things at hand and no stimulants bombarding me.

I got a jump on chilling by walking PN early this morning, watching a place wake up is something I like doing. I ended up just sitting and watching the water directly in front of my hotel. The way the moving clouds changed the lighting was amazing. I thought no running back to the room for my camera but couldn’t resist. Same spot different look every few moments. I was amazed when I downloaded the pictures, a ten minute time capsule of subtle changes. I wonder what changes a four night cruise in Tierra del Fuego will bring?

Wow! I so want to hike the Patagonia's someday. I'm off to Tunisia on Tuesday. Can't wait. Your trip in Chile is amazing — I'm glued.
