As many of you saw on Facebook, we had some serious challenges making it to Chile with our first flight cancelled (after sitting on plane for 4 hours) because of air conditioner problem, and the second flight the next day delayed because of engine problems. We did finally arrive 20 hours later than expected (but safely!) to our cute hostel owned by a surfer originally from California.
After 3 hours sleep we decided it would be a good time to trek up one of the mountains to visit the Santa Maria statue (think Brazil's Christ the Redeemer except with Mary!). Which took us the better part of the day. Along the way we were able to meet up with Frank, a guy who will apparently be on our G Adventures tour which starts tomorrow, and a couple guys from Kincardine, Ontario (they spotted Justine's Jays tee shirt) and had a good lunch and some beers with them. Tonight we're looking forward to hanging a bit in the cool district and enjoying some more delicious foods!
Tomorrow we will be hitting up the wineries and doing some shopping before meeting up with our tour! Talk to everyone soon! Love G and J.
