Mirador de Selkirk

There was, of course, no town here on Robinson Crusoe Island when Alexander Selkirk lived here and so Brenda and I got right out of town and followed his footsteps up to his lookout.

It was a lovely hike going only and always UP. He had a great view of the bay up there from which vantage point he watched for possible rescue. As we walked where he had walked it made us try to imagine what it would be like to be completely alone for that long. And even what it must be like to live now on this island of only 1000 people so far from any other civilization. We were glad we could see our ship down there.

The almost completely round rainbow, viewed while eating the very fresh lobsters, was a fitting end to a wonderful day!
