Santiago

We are now checked into our hostel in Santiago. We´re going to hang here for a couple of hours and then go to dinner. Becca´s flight leaves at 4am, the rest of us aren´t leaving until 10:30pm tomorrow night. We saw a couple markets on our way to the hostel, so that will be something fun to do tomorrow.

The penguin colony yesterday was interesting, but somewhat of a letdown. The penguins didn´t do much, and there weren´t that many of them. All told, we only stayed about an hour. The bed and breakfast we stayed in at Punta Arenas was nice, though. It´s called Hostel Maipu. The owner was a very nice lady, but she spone practically no English and her Spanish was very fast. We managed to communicate the necessities, though.

So, we´re on our way back home. As usual, the vacation went so quickly that I can´t believe it´s almost over. But we are going to Tahoe to ski less than a month from now. I suppose I shouldn´t complain. :)
