                    <title>A week on the island of Chilo</title>
                    <description>Just wanted to say sorry that it has been such a long time since updating my blog but due to some problems with the blog's website and just having too much fun in Argentina I haven't got around to it lately So after a few days in Pucn I broke off again from my Quebecois friends and headed to the city of Puerto Montt for the sole purpose of buying a passage on the Navimag from Puerto Montt t</description>

                    <title>Climbing a live volcano in Pucon</title>
                    <description> Now I'm finally off to somewhere that has been recommended to me time and time again by travelers heading north Pucon. The town of Pucon is the base for many outdoors activities especially the ascend to the crater of Volcan Villarrica the reason I was going. Unfortunately there were no direct buses between Chillan and Pucon that I could easily find so I ended up taking a bus to the city of T</description>

                    <description> My last morning in Santiago I woke early and decided to walk down to the bus terminal with my friends from Quebec who were headed to Pucon that morning. My reason for going was so I would get myself out of the city and finally heading in the right direction which is south. I am sure my friends thought I would probably stay longer in Santiago but I noticed a promotion to go to Chillan for 2.000</description>

                    <title>One last time in Santiago...</title>
                    <description> Hard to believe that I have been traveling for almost a month and here I find myself back in Santiago where I started my trip from. I am not making much progress am I The main reason for coming back this time was to visit the Concha y Toro winery and to look into the possibility of skiing in the surrounding mountains things that I never got around to in my previous two visits to the city. It i</description>

                    <title>One more time in La Serena</title>
                    <description> Chile being the stringbean country it is means that if you start in Santiago and go to the north and then want to travel south again you have to pass through all the same places again. I decided to break up my long journey from Iquique back towards Santiago with a stop in Copiap a thirteen hour bus ride from Iquique. Arriving early in the morning I went on my way to find a hostel room in </description>

                    <title>Up and Down the Hills of Valparaiso</title>
                    <description> Backtracing south through Chile I decided to make another trip to Valparaiso as my previous visit to the city was way to short. Luckily Gladys the owner of the hostel in La Serena gave me contact information for her sister's hostel in Valparaiso because every hostel that was recommended to me and that I called from the bus while about to arrive in Valparaiso was full. Quite glad they were full</description>

                    <title>Iquique is as far north as I am going in Chile</title>
                    <description> So almost three weeks into my trip and according to my plans of heading south in Chile then working my way up through Argentina I am currently in negative territory as I am 1465km north of Santiago where I started my trip about three weeks ago. Oh well for the opportunity to travel with friends it has been worth it. Iquique eekeykay is a destination I thought I would get to while living in </description>

                    <title>One day was enough in Antofagasta</title>
                    <description> After a long overnight bus we finally arrived in Bolivian oops I meant the Chilean city of Antofagasta at about 10AM. Antofagasta has been part of Chile since March 23 1873 and how do I know this information because Bolivia still commemorates this day every year with military parades on this day. Losing the city of Antofagasta and the region around it was a big blow to Bolivia because they lo</description>

                    <description> Our arrival in La Serena early in the morning was quite surprising for me. I can't believe hostel owners are already at the bus station at 630AM trying to persuade residents into staying with them. We had made no reservations so we waited to hear what all of them had to offer and ended up going to Hostal Gladys as I had recognized the name of this one from research I had done before. For CH 40</description>

                    <description> After a full day in Santiago Alejandro Linnea and I were ready to head off to our next destination Valparaiso. Being only an hour and a half away by bus and buses running about every 10 minutes it was definitely not a problem to find a bus that would take us there. Can't believe I have been in the country for almost two weeks and know I am finally stepping onto a bus. I am sure there'll be l</description>

                    <description> Spending three days by myself on the island was quite a bit of fun but I was really looking forward to seeing my friends today as I haven't seen them for over a month. These are my friends Alejandro and Linnea whom I lived in the same building with in La Paz Bolivia for the time I was living there as well. When they heard that I found such a cheap flight to Easter Island they decided that they</description>

                    <title>The mysterious island of Rapa Nui Easter Island</title>
                    <description> Well one day back in early April I decided to take a peek at the LAN Chile website www.lan.com to get a ballpark figure how much it would cost me to go to Easter Island while traveling around South America. Easter Island is somewhere that I have always wanted to go but the cost of the flight sets most travelers back around 800. I searched for flights at the beginning of when I had planned to</description>

                    <description> Another quick entry to get these blogs up to date   Due to some unexpected road blocks outside of La Paz isolating it from the rest of the country I decided to not wait until the blockades came down and purchased a flight to Santa Cruz in eastern Bolivia. Instead of the 17 hour overnight bus ride from La Paz to Santa Cruz it only took an hour to fly there  Arriving on Good Friday meant th</description>

                    <title>A fews days of rest in Sorata</title>
                    <description> As I am trying to get back to date on my blog entries this will be a pretty short one mainly just to display some pictures.  After rushing back from a border crossing to obtain a new tourist visa since this could not be done in La Paz for a meeting with CUSO and my employer I decided I needed a few days to relax so I decided to go to Sorata again to do this. Jumping on a bus later in the afte</description>

                    <description> Getting a courtesy visa extended and converted into a tourist visa is not so easy I found out. At the immigration office they told me that I would have to leave the country to be able to obtain a new tourist visa for the three weeks I had left before my flight back to Canada. So after a night on the town Friday to celebrate our last day of work I headed to the Peruvian border to the town of Des</description>

                    <description> Finally with only one weekend to go in La Paz and with a little convincing from some people who were traveling through Bolivia it was time to go down the World's Most Dangerous Road on bike. On Thursday night I met up with two people from Ottawa Nigel and Erin. Nigel is the son of a woman I took an Italian cooking class with in Ottawa last year. An interesting experience meeting her son in L</description>

                    <description>Well another weekend and another trip away from La Paz.  Due to my lack of traveling before Christmas I am trying to get it all in now.   So this weekend I was off to Sorata a small mountain town about three and half hours northwest of La Paz.  In the guidebook Sorata is described as a crumbling colonial gem that was enough to interest me in going there.  Kevin's Bolivian friend whom him me</description>

                    <description>This weekend I needed a weekend away to do some hiking and clear my head so it was off to Copacabana a town of Lake Titicaca near the Peruvian border.  The last time I was through this area I arrived in Copacabana had lunch and then caught a boat to Isla del Sol where I spent all my time so this time I decided that I would just stay in the town and enjoy it.  So first thing in the morning on </description>

                    <description>Just as if Bolivia needed another festival to celebrate something January 24th is spent celebrating Alasita the festival of abundance.  Before I can get to talking about this festival  today was the last day for a fellow Canadian coworker Ximena who decided after two months of being very ill that it was time to go home.   The office had a small celebration to wish her off with salteas past</description>
