A Beautiful Sunset
Today I want to speak not of the waterfront itself, but rather of a sunset we saw from the waterfront. We arrived in Puerto Natales by bus from Punta Arenas, and only went to find a hostel down the street from where the bus dropped us off. The truth is, at first glance, I was disappointed by the people, small, gridded streets and low houses, with no appeal. It is a city that has grown to be the gateway park Torres del Paine, and having the dock where all the hikers, backpackers, etc. come from. To Patagonia. The next day we walked around Paine, we had the afternoon off, so we are dedicated to explore the town a little but after an hour we'd seen it all.
Walking we came to the waterfront, and it changed my opinion of the city. I guess people arriving by ferry get another impression. The vision was sublime, with the sea penetrating deep into "The Crest", the beginning of the Andes. The sun was setting in front of the snow-covered hills that we had in front of us, gulls and flamingos first dyed pink and then a orange as the sun was setting. It was one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen, even with the cold.
