January

Two months in Chile?  That's such a long time!  What are we going to do with all that time?

Well, we got to Chile the day after Christmas, we are pretty much half way thru our trip and we already feel like we are running out of time. 

Every day we've had lunch and dinner plans and it's been such a pleasure to catch up with family and friends in a casual and relaxed way, to be able to spend a night just hanging out and talking over a meal means so much. We've also had some field trips in Santiago and spent the last few days on the coast in Valparaiso. 

We are currently planning a two week road trip to the south of Chile the two of us. In the middle, we are going to a cousins wedding in concepcion. We rented the car and we also have our tent and sleeping bags ready to go.   It's going to be a difficult decision though figuring out how much time to spend where, including spending time with our family in the south. 

Time flies when you're having fun, but it's been a joy to be here. 

Here's some pics I took with my phone of my favorite city Valparaiso:
