Day 10 in Chile - Jan 6th, 2011 - Our Last Full Day

For our last full day in Chile we had plans to go on another tour of the coast to a tourist village Pomaire, and  and then to Isla de Negra to the beach and to the home of a famous Chilean poet that had won the Nobel Peace Prize, Pablo Neruda. After breakfast Veronica and I went to the supermarket to buy some food for our journey.  She had to work in the afternoon and wasn't able to join us.  We made sandwiches for our trip and packed some other snacks.  I love sandwiches with smashed avocado!  I have had it many times since I have been home. We drove about an hour to Pomaire and walked around the streets.  It was a great little town where many people were selling their pottery and crafts.  I had to bring some Chilean pottery back home.  I bought a Pebre bowl with a design of a pig on it, another small pottery bowl, an ashtray and Ron bought a set of wind chimes.  I have all of them (except the ashtray) displayed in my dining room now....
