PiCHILEmu

We've been in CHile for a week now, and not one picture! What a nice week of settling in though. 2hrs a day of spanish classes followed by some serious relaxing. The surf and sand are endless, but the temperatures are very chilly, despite the sun. The wind has been relentless up untill today. Spanish Classes have left us little better at conversing, but miles ahead in comprehension as we have begun to understand the verbs, and their relationships to people. We can build a sentence but it takes so long that we are not very usefull in conversation. NO matter...we're progressing. Two days of kite surfing lessons got me onto a kiteboard launch but not yet zipping around the lagoon.
Then the wind died and it's all over.. no worries. I can hardly wait to get home to the ocean rodeo 8 that sits in our shed at home and head out to Bowron. Just need to spend more money on a board.
Tomorrow, we start walking down the playa, and spending a few days on a camping shakedown before heading inland to the mountains of the andes.
gotta go.
