Checking out the interpretive sign
Next stop: Coyhiaque (after several gracious lessons from Carlos, we know now to pronounce it as coy-I-kay)! What an experience so far! Exhuasting at times but worth every second of being tired!!
I truly enjoyed the people we met in Punta Arenas, the perfect place to begin our journey. (And a special thanks to my hosts Enrique and Sara Marchant, my parents away from home!) Amazing people and a rich history, I think we were all a bit sad to leave.
The small club in Puerto Natales was wonderful. We shared an intimate dinner where we were able to share our presentations about ourselves but also hear about each one of them. Yesterday we had the perfect day to visit Torres del Paine. Not a cloud in the sky!!!! We were all so grateful to be able to see the sights and will have plenty of pictures to remember and share the experience. Another Chilean dinner and a tired group last night.
An early day (they all are, we have a lot to fit in) with a bus ride back to Punta Arenas, a flight to Puerto Montt and then final flight to Balmaceda. Once again we were greeted with kisses from our smiling hosts and instantly made to feel welcomed. What a beautiful region. It is currently autumn and you can tell. Orange, yellow, red and green dot the rolling hills up to the large cerros that surround the valley.
More posts to come to, Club meeting and presentations tonight, area tour tomorrow.
Ciao for now!
