Hace mucho tiempo!

My how times flies without even knowing it. I have been keeping so busy and have not had time to write down the craziness that has been going on in Chile. I guess I should stick to the most important things.

I am ok!!! Although there was is a volcano in Chaitén, Chile that has been erupting; I am ok.
Everyone in Chaitén has had to evacuate. The water is so contaminated now, and the animals have been abandoned because there is hardly any place for the people to go, let alone their animals. The ash from the volcano has been falling in all areas of Chile and even in some parts of Argentina. It has been intense and I have been watching the news to better understand what is going on with the volcano.

I went to Chiloe over a month ago! It was amazing! I had a lot of fun and it was nice to do more traveling. There are penguins in Chiloe, and Kristi (who I traveled with) and I wanted to find the penguins!!! So we went in search of them. Well, it turns out that the penguins leave the last week in March.... yeah so we missed them by a weekend or two. So sad. Chiloe was still beautiful and exciting.We saw a double rainbow while we were in Ancud, Chiloe. Before we grabbed the bus to Castro, Chiloe we had to eat a Curanto which is the next picture.

The Curanto is ham, sausage, chicken, clams, some type of biscuits and another type of sea food....needless to say it was a crazy delicious lunch that I am glad I got to try. This dish started in Ancud, Chiloe!!

I have done more traveling since then, but I will wait another day to tell about those adventures! I thought I should at least update and let everyone know that I am still alive..ha.

Chao,
