Coloso

South of our house about 10 kilometers is a small fishing village called Coloso.  It's also the location of a huge port and the beginning of the pipeline Steve is working on (where the desalinization plant actually is).  On weekends the fishing village (the "caleta") is kind of touristy (strangely enough).  People from Antofagasta come down to buy fresh fish and mariscos and eat at one of the little  restaurants there.

The pier where we saw pelicans and lots of sea lions.

We had lunch at one of the restaurants.  It was amazing!  Have I explained that at every Chilean meal they serve pebre (this salsa-type condiment) with bread and lemons?  It is AMAZING.  So much better than the salsa you would get in any Mexican restaurant (and that's saying a lot coming from me!)

Our favorite - fried congrio.  Sadie loves it!
