So if you haven’t heard, I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to head down to Chile and Argentina for a couple months. My grandfather, who does a mission trip in Chile every year, invited family along this year. We’ll spend two weeks doing repairs to a high school and helping build a church building in Temuco, Chile. Afterwards, I’ll be meeting up with my friend Captain Spanish in Tierra del Fuego, where we will make our way north to trek the Paine Circuit in Torres del Paine National Park. I’ll let Google Image Search give you an idea. I’ve got some other goals in mind further to the north, most of which revolve around steak, wine and absurd mountains.
I’ll be using the blog to keep everyone at home up to date. I can’t guarantee that there will be quite as regular updates as the last trip – I’d prefer to focus on quality instead of quantity and not spend my whole trip in internet cafes.
Leaving Tuesday afternoon. At this point I’m a bit overwhelmed at the prospect of getting everything I need for two months of wildly varied climates (80 degrees and sunny in Temuco, 40 degrees and rainy in Tierra del Fuego and 75 mph winds and snow in Torres del Paine) into a backpack. Looking forward to getting in the air and going with the flow.
