On the Road Again

Chile
1/28/2009

Our time in Puerto Natales was mostly reading books, knitting a new hat(this time out of rainbow colored alpaca wool)and studying some spanish. In the end we probably could have hitch hiked out of here, because I did not realize how long the 5 days we were would actually feel.

The grocery store here is full of sweets, and the bakery they have has many large cookies, eclairs, and cholocate covered multi story cookies filled with dulce de leche! We mostly save our money buy getting pasta, sauce meat, hamburgers, and other cheap food. The nice thing about staying here, was that our budget dropped alot per day, because of all the traveling we were doing. busses are expensive here.

Today we are catching the bus to Punta Arenas, for one night, and then in the morning we will catch our bus to Puerto Montt. We will then try to make our way to santiago, with much haste, since the temperature down here is too darn cold. And it is so windy. Not much more to report, but we might be out of contact for a few days, given the bus ride is 30 hours!
