Day 2 highlights on Rapa Nui: Today was our opportunity to see the large statues (Moai) on the island, the quarry where they were carved, the path(s) they were transported to the coast, and all this from the point of view of a native Rapa Nui-an whose perspective was that of a cultural anthropologist and defender of the heritage and language. We learned a lot; saw a lot. Wonderful experience, lots of walking on rocky ground.
Tonight we shared raw tuna with lemon, olive oil and capers; then a fish called cara cara with roasted vegetables. Tuna is the most common catch on the island. Oh yes, we enjoyed a pisco sour and toasted Al and Winnie!
Wed afternoon, back to Santiago.
