On Tuesday, October 4, it was only 73 degrees at 0800. We decided to take advantage of the cool weather to walk along the sea wall to the edge of the harbor. Looking at the old photos that we’ve seen around town, the sea wall looks much the same now as it did over 100 years ago, when it was built by the mining company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entrance to the sea wall is just beyond the end of the Malecon<\/a>, past the dilapidated tower (the tower certainly looks a lot different than it did 100 years ago).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve seen old pieces of equipment from the mining era on display all over town. There were a couple pieces at the entrance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Keith was super excited about an invigorating walk (looking southwest from the northeast corner).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got an up-close view of the sunken ship, which can be seen from the marina. It was tied to the sea wall. We wondered if it had been tied when it had sunk. There were many large cleats along the wall, so clearly, ships used to dock here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ocean is on the left, harbor on the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the wall was built with an assortment of rocks and bricks, the majority of it was built with volcanic rock. We wondered where the rock had come from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There was a tiny church at the end, no bigger than a small closet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photos from the end. The picture with Christi is looking southwest, the picture with Eric and Keith is looking north. Keith was sorry that the walk wasn’t longer. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we were leaving, we realized that the vultures we’ve been seeing live on the tower<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the way back to Kosmos, we stopped at Coffee Star,<\/a> one of the many cafes, for coffee and smoothies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We made sure to be back to the marina by 1000 so Christi and Keith could wash the boat. Of course, by 1000, it was already in the mid-80s, and it was heating up fast. Thanks to the harbor construction project creating a lot of dirt in the air, we had to re-do the areas we’d done yesterday. While they got more done this time than yesterday, they still pooped out before they’d finished. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the evening, we went to pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
