Punta Arenas, Chile

There nothing in this town but penguins and shopping. Since I’d already seen penguins, it was time for shopping. We head to the duty free area called Zona Franca and get tons of winter clothes – it’s freaking freezing here. It’s weird to think that a week earlier I was sweating on the beaches of Brazil. Now we’re stocking up on gloves, hats, thermals underwear, a tent, etc. It’s also really hard to do the conversion to figure out how much anything costs here - 10,000 Chilean pesos is about $17 USD. Ok, fine it’s not that hard – nerd.
