Antarctica and Chile

Hard as this may be to believe, I sometimes find that I really 

want to leave this regal home and office 

and sail away to the South Pacific.

So I traveled along the west coast of Chile to Antarctica. 

Leaving JFK in 20-degree weather, I arrived at Santiago to find temps over 100 F.

Saw my first full-size unicorn.
Chile's national stone is lapis lazuli.

Chile's beautiful interior.

Still dreaming of the South Pacific?

In the LeMaire Passage

            

Floating in the tops of the Andes.

So here I am in beautiful South -- uhm --Arizona!
