We´re in Punta Arenas, Chile now. It took four days of 10 + hours of driving to get here. It was long, but we´re here now. It´s beautiful here in Punta Arenas. REALLY windy, and the temperature is mild, probably in the 50s-ish. It´s so nice! We´re staying in a wonderful little hostel with lovely bedrooms, comfy beds, and nice bathrooms, with breakfast! And the internet cafe is right next door! How convenient. We did service work this morning, cleaning up trash in a little park, and three news stations covered our efforts. It was pretty funny. They were all so excited, and they took tons of pictures and taped us picking up shards of glass and other bits of trash. We´re famous! And then we´re going to see the penguin colony this afternoon. I´m excited about it. Tomorrow we have the day off from service so we´re going to go on at least one adventure, which will be fun. I´m excited. It´s so nice to be out of the car and not have to drive all day for a little while. Though it is pretty cool to have drive all the way across the continent and seen both oceans and gotten to the bottom of the continent. Totally worth it.
Well, I´ll have more access to internet here, so I´ll update more often in the next couple of days, or will try to. Until later,
Ciao,
Adrianne

Hi! Fun to know that you MIGHT be stepping in Lee's footprints as you visit Puenta Arenas and go to see the penguins!!!! Great to be connected to the tip of the So. American continent AND watching the inauguration - both at the same time. Have fun. ac
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! I cannot wait to see your pictures and here details of your adventures. That is so cool that you have seen both oceans and been to the lowest point in the continent. Have fun. Karl
