So I just wrote this travel blog and it was good, but I lost it because the internet disconnected. So I went to yet another place in Chile that seemed to be utterly amazing by its appearance. It was my first time there so I was in complete AWE. I think I will travel to this destination yet another time to have an "Amanda" moment. You know, everyone needs a moment to themselves and what better place to do it than in another country at the end of the world in a beautiful location?? Rest my case, I'm goin' back! Unfortunately we were unable to take pictures from this day due to technical difficulties with Carina's camera (the batteries died). Ariel even bit them and everything to try to make it so we could take some pics. Guess that's some method about recharging batteries of which I never heard about. But don't worry, I'm attaching pictures from a few weeks ago when Carina went and took pictures. I'll have some on here from when I go, just not from yesterday.
So after reaching our destination (which was quite a challenge) to sit and enjoy the view I noticed something on
What a view
The sand dunes in Con Con are just Amazing!!a rock in the ocean that made me think of the ranch. It was the thing that you put on top of a house or building or whatever, to measure which way the wind travels. If anyone could help me out with what it's called I would greatly appreciate that. We were racking our brains trying to figure out what it is called.
Carina: OH gosh what are those called?
Amanda: Wind something....
Carina: Something with vain....like wind vain
Amanda: Maybe it's like a wind compass cause it kinda looks like one??
Everyone's still thinking at this point.....
Amanda: Oh...it's a wind-o-meter, that's it!
Carina: Is that even a word?? Wind-o-meter
Amanda: I don't know...is it not??
Jennie: (5 minutes later after some silence she blurts out) No....it's a WIND.......THING!
That pretty much ended that discussion.
After we all got a little chilly (here in Chile, ha-ha....old joke) we decided to move the gathering to Juan's apartment where we enjoyed some interestingly good pancakes (not sure if they were Juan's style or Chilean style). They only cost us each 500 pesos, I mean why is that?? Another unsolved mystery of the Chilean way. The pancakes consisted of pancake batter,
jamón, some white sauce and some jelly. Upon having our pancakes I watched a Chilean movie (sexo con amor), had a long conversation, walked Carina to the bus (locked arms together), lost Jennie and Ariel, walked the streets with Javier in search of them, united together, headed for another beach adventure, and then after a little bit of some Gato Negro I decided to head for the house and go to bed. It was a beach filled day for me.
Today at about noon I felt yet another tremor. I'm not sure if it is because they are new to me, but I find them quite exciting. When we were discussing tremors at the dinner table today Roberto told us that when I got here in Chile it was said that in south Chile there was a bad rumor that there was going to be a Tsunami during the month of February or March. The rumor was spread by fisherman who said the "mar" looked different. It never occurred and probably had no chance of happening. However, during the rumor the entire town fled and a lady died of a heart attack. So, let's take that as a lesson
and BE CAREFUL with what you say. Rumors can cause some damage.
