Meeting up by Josh


On Sunday the 13th Logan, Weber, and I arrived in Santiago after a 30 hour bus ride that was a not so entertaining drive through the desert of Chile. We arrived at 5:30 AM, under the impression that Aaron and Hans would be there to pick us up.  However, because of our lack of wifi we were unaware that they didn’t have the car yet. So we waited there about 2 hours until we finally got in contact with them and got a taxi to the place they were staying. We then walked to the hostel that Logan, Weber and I were going to be sleeping.  This was the same hostel Aaron and Hans had stayed at.  We finally got a shower after 2 days of traveling: Hallelujah!!   Aaron and Hans then showed us around the city.  We visited the Plaza de Armas (the cities original plaza), and tried some interesting drinks. They were basically canned peaches with wheat rice which was actually pretty good. We then went and bought fruits and veggies at an open air market which was crazy packed and really cool to see. Then on the way back we stopped by the parking garage to view the car that was soon to be our home for the next while couple months.  Waiting for us was a red 92 Subaru Legacy; she was a beauty! I quickly learned it didn’t have a radio, speakers, or air conditioning. All of which I was ok with at that point in time. So after viewing the car we ending up just chillin for awhile at Hans and Aarons place. That evening we went our to eat for supper and retired to our beds for some shut eye. End of day






Here are some random pictures that I (Aaron) quickly added at the internet cafe I am at in Puerto Montt Chile.  More will come shortly.

This was at the National Park Conguillio.
