The commies are closed today in Iquique.

Fish market - I bet they'll have ceviche...

You buy ceviche here,

then you have these nice ladies get you a beer...

and lunch is ready. You thought I was going to rhyme didn't you?

Graffiti outside the fish market.

More graffiti outside the fish market.

Beto's shop. If you're stuck in Iquique with bike problems, go elsewhere. He never responded to my emails after the strangely timed axle bolt strip.

Don Quixote, Sancho Panza and some other guy on the other end of a long shiny glass table.

Northeast corner of the plaza at Iquique; restaurant where the previous photo was taken.

Boat.

Boat crowd.

The nothingness south of Iquique

Somebody's failed theme resort.

Leaving Iquique.

This huge sand dune looms over much of the town.

Obligatory Atacama road shot.

Some more of very little.

Canyon.

Big burned bus. It was facing downhill, I wonder what started the fire?

Eiffel designed this customs building, which is now the Casa de Cultura.

Arica from the big point that overlooks the town. Starting from the left and panning to the right for 4 pictures.

#2, more to the right,

#3 more into the actual town,

#4, that's it.

There's a large memorial/museum on the hill to commemorate Chile's victory over Peru in the War of the Pacific in 1880.

Part of the memorial overlooking Arica.

Pinochet added to the memorial in 1980.

Arica's signature on the hill, south of town.

Home sweet home.

A memorial to the fisherman from here who have died at sea.

Eiffel designed the Cathedral too, it's made out of iron.

More ceviche.

Big train in the center.

This point, "El Morro", overlooks Arica and gives it a very unique feel. It's where the War of the Pacific memorial is.

It's hard to see them but there's about 50 fur seals at the end of this street near the pier.
