These are from my last day on Chiloé. The day was mainly travel, but we made a stop in a small town for their Sunday market.
This is the town of Dalcahue. It is north of Castro on the eastern side of the island. It is a very small town but for market day it look big. Most of the streets were crowded with people selling their goods along the sides of the streets. There were several other spots where you can find the typical Chilean craft goods. Lots of wool and wood items.
This is the harbor. Lots of boats like just about every town in Chiloé.
And of course the city has a number of street dogs. I think that the small the town is the cuter the dogs will be.
Just helping out a local "fisherman"
We stopped back in Ancud for lunch before heading back to the ferry. This is the harbor area with an old row boat left to gather sand and water on the shore.
Then it was time to head back to the main land. I wonder if anyone could tell we were gringos?
Chiloe was a great trip. The is so much culture and history on the island. It is a unique place in Chile. It feels different from all the other places. It is more than just an island of fishermen and sheep ranchers. There is a unique environment, huge wooden churches, and stories of myths and legends all over the island.
