OUR JOURNEY TO CHILE

On December 18th we left for our much awaited trip to CHILE. We flew to Atlanta then a 10 hour overnight to Santiago. Sofia did great on both flights and the entire trip. This trip was incredible, we had the best time EVER. We got to see lots of Ingrid's family and got to tour around this beautiful country. The 3 weeks flew by so fast, but we were glad to be home in our own beds! We took over a thousand pictures and we will post them for the next couple of weeks, so keep checking back!

One wrong turn on the way to the bread store and next thing you know we are hanging from the trees for dear life!

A crash course on canopy... did I say "crash"? eek!

A scenic view in Puerto Varas 

Vince and Bill took a "canopy" tour from the top of this hill. At times flying by a cable suspended 60+ feet in the air between the trees. FUN

Seeking a souvenier that will fit in Bill's carryon. 

The light is very different... hard to explain but easy to see. 

Sofia is such a good little traveller 

Lago Todos Los Santos 

Saltos del Petrohue - This river flows from the emerald waters of Lago Todos Los Santos

All that snow has to go somewhere! 

This volcano has been extinct for nearly 6000 years. 

A perfect day for a day cruise...
