Well we're back in Chile. As you can see about 6 of our blog entries were lost by travelblog. We're really bummed about it because we like to go back and read through our travel journal. But that seems to be the theme of the trip, things getting lost/stolen or breaking/malfunctioning. With two more nights in South America we're reading to do all our last minute shopping and look forward to a fun last night on Monday. Lindsay is getting a little sad about leaving her Chilean family but looks forward to seeing her "old" family. Uruaguay is a very cold country in the winter but also extremely beatuiful. We stayed one night in Colonia del Sacramento, a small coastal town, and two nights in Montevideo. I was sick the last 2 nights in Buenos Aires ... read more

Well, after a very long and tireing 24 hours (it actually hasn´t even been 24 hours) we are finally in La Paz, Bolivia, me with the only clothes that I have on my back. But let me just give you what our past 24 hours has been like. We started yesterday off by going to a park in Santiago, thinking that there was a tour at 11am, but Frommer´s was wrong, the tour is actually at 10am, so that was kind of a bummer. But we ended up walking around the park still which is really pretty. So after that we go looking for a movie theater to see the new Harry Potter movie, because we had awhile to waste, and I wanted to see it also. So after the movie we hit the post office ... read more

We´re leaving Santriago tomorrow morning. I´ve really enjoyed this city. It´s like a "little london". Since here we went wine tasting at Concho y Tono on the outskirts of SAntiago. Lou and I had a nice lunch near the winery before. It was an all day event. It took a little over an hour to get there and back. IT was a really cute little town and winery. Yesterday we walked around Santiago all day. We were going to go up to the snow but they said there wasn´t much to do if you´re not skiing. So instead we went to this park. We road cable cars to the top and ate lunch and walked around. Yiou basically have a few of all the Andes that surround Santaigo. Tehy make it a very beautiful city. Then ... read more

Keira has finally arrived!!! She got in about 6:15 this morning but didn't make it out of customs until 7, which was good because because I didn't get to the airport until 5 mins. before. But she is safe and alive just really tired! But once we get things moving we will update more with all of our adventures! Oh and keira says, "I' here! I'm cold!" Of course she had to come on a rainy day too! Talk to you all later!! Love Lindsay and Keira... read more

Well I must say that today has been the most tranquilo 4th of July that I have ever had. I walked around the city for a bit and then retreated back to my program's office to do some more research for my mine and my sister's trip. She is coming down in 9 days, I'm am SO excited to see her!! We are going to La Paz, Bolivia; Cusco and Lima, Peru, and Buenos Aires, Argentina. I am also thinking about going to Uraguay, it is pretty close to Buenos Aires. I can't wait to get going! But today I went to a local pub and watched Chile tie to Mexico in the Copa America. I don't know if they will continue in the cup seeing as Brazil won to Ecuador. And sadly the only fireworks ... read more
