That looks like an amazing flood? What was the cause? I visited Punta Arenas in 1985 and remember having, as we called it. the 'best cannelonni at the end of the universe' in an awesome Italian bakery. It's quite a diverse place (or was). Hope you get some dry time to wander and enjoy the sights!

Hey Susie,Sorry for my slow reply. How are you? The cause of the flash flood was a huge amount of rain in a short amount of time- the river overflowed and a seawall broke. Very messy. Most of Punta Arenas was shut down for my last couple days, but I did get a chance to do some wandering around through the mud and muck. I've been enjoying following along on all your skiing adventures. Hope to see you in person some time in the near future.
Cheers,
Nell
