Day 242 - Mejillones Beach

Before we left this morning, we observed Cormorants and Pelicans sitting on the cliffs. Then we drove all the way to Antifogasta and stayed at Mejillones Beach.

It was a long stretch of road and somewhat dull, like the previous days. But a funny thing happened: we found a few heads of cauliflower on the road. They must have fallen off a truck!

At times we had strong side winds, and at one point, a small tornado moved toward us. We suddenly had zero visibility and pulled over to the side of the road until it had passed. Holding on to our seats, we could feel the camper shaking and hear the sand hitting the roof and windshield.

We are glad we have already conquered over half of this long Desert.

The repaired tire from yesterday seems to be holding the air. Let's hope for the best!
