Isla de Pascua

Day 7, THur. June 14 Easter Island/ Santiago As I had the morning free, I walked over to the museum. While they don’t have a lot of artifacts (those darn British taking petroglyphs and more), it had a lot of explanations. It had a white coral eye with a red scoria pupil. It is believed that all Moai were given this type of eye when finally erected; it is known that the eyes were the last thing carved. Got back to my Santiago hotel around 11 pm. I had decided to take an evening flight back to the states on Friday so that I could spend another day in Santiago.
