teaching chileans to whistle, one city at a time

so i just wrote about a mile of info about our trip through the south. puerto varas, valdivia, niebla, villarica, pucon... horseback riding, volcanos, hotsprings, vans not falling off mountains, challas, noche valdiviano, ´gastronomical events´, huge plates of meat, free pisco, fresh blackberries, alpacas, and a whole lot more, but it got lost into the black void of technology. entonces, you all must settle for photos.

side note on photos, the screen on the computer ive been using has absolutely horrible color values and no way to let me adjust it, so i have no clue what these images look like in real life. they are all very dark on my screen. dont judge. the photo editor in me is crying.

the lake off puerto varas, as well as the volcán osorno in the distance. puerto varas was my favorite town on the trip. although pucón is supposed to be awesome, we were only there when it was raining and didnt even get to glimpse the infamous volcán villarica, let alone climb it. when we return there ill give an updated opinion.

alpaca? llama? who knows? i dont, but its still cool

i am, however, quite certian that those are horses, and thats us on them. this is definitely after our guide decided that a complete lack of riding skills made us qualified to run full speed across the hills with horses that spoke better spanish than we did. awesome.

no thats not snow, its challas, confetti, that gets thrown into the mouths of festival goers in Valdivia. we didnt know that until the next day, which explains why im still coughing them up.

the ocean from niebla, the smallest town we have been to so far. and by town, i mean ´town´. nice to catch a glimpse of life off the beaten path.

of course there are mountians more photos, but this is the best youre going to get at this point. and blame technology and the black hole of the internet for not getting a better update.
