Today is another sea day, but we left the Pacific Ocean behind and entered the Chilean Fjords. We were in sight of land all day, although the land was in the distance. The sea is much calmer here, with minimal rocking and rolling.
A specialty Pasta Station was featured at lunch today, and it was very popular. I think the wait was worth it, however.

Our new Specialist Historian Loreen presented a fascinating lecture on the “National Parks of Patagonia.” The story of how two visionary individuals bought up land in Chile for conservation purposes and then donated the land to the Chilean government for the creation of national parks was inspiring.

Loreen then told us about the Route of Parks that is a result of their efforts. This scenic route of approximately 1,700 miles takes travelers to the ends of earth by connecting 17 national parks in southern Chile. I’m so glad that we will be visiting several of these beautiful and varied landscapes on this journey.
