Walking South + The Pier

Our exploration of our surroundings continued today with a walk south towards Valparaiso. Most of are travels so far, all on foot, have been to the north and east. The pedestrian path that goes north also goes south and we didn't reach the end of it today. We only went about a mile before turning back.

There is an estuary about 3/4 of a mile down. Lots of birds.

 Past the estuary the coast gets rocky.

This is similar to what you see if you go north about 2 miles. Here's what I saw on my run north this morning.

Speaking of my run north. On my way out of the building for my run this morning, I noticed that the main road along the coast was closed to cars. Lots of runners, walkers and cyclists took over the empty street.

There was even a free bike repair station setup along the road.

On the way back from our southern excursion, I saw this cute puppy.

We also finally went out on the ocean pier behind our building.

 There were a lot of people fishing today. You can see the buildings along the beach well from the pier. Including ours.

 Daylight Savings Time

Overnight, Chilean clocks jumped forward an hour to mark the start of daylight savings time. Yesterday, we were the same as eastern time in the US. Today, we are one hour ahead. In November, when the US returns to standard time, we'll be two hours ahead of eastern time. We'll stay at that offset for the rest of our time in Chile (through the end of February).
