Things I Never Talked About

Encuentro Nacional de Jóvenes

A great opportunity to hook up with youth from all over Chile. Plus it was free!

Church Retreat

For three days and two nights the church went South of Santiago to Rosario. It was a good time relax and get to know others outside the jóvenes. Soccer and meditation, what more could you want.

Trip to southern Chile

Oh Jeff had the wonderful idea to take Mauricio, Camilo, and I to southern Chile for a couple of days to get to know each other better. Well, Camilo couldn’t go with us, so that was a drag. We went overnight by bus called “semi-cama” - YOU COULD LAY DOWN WHILE YOU RODE. Fantastic! We stayed in a top-notch hostelería in Villarrica owned by Americans. We hiked on the local volcano, hiked in Huequehue national park, and ate some delicious food. It was a great time out of the city.

Loss of my camera

Sadly I lost my camera in a river at a lovely place named Pucón. I proposed the idea of eating at a German restaurant outside of town, so we went and found the place, it was closed, but we looked around the grounds. We found a river and took some great shots and then it was out of the bag, on the ground, then in the river. It was a sad situation, but humbling. I got over it soon after.

Thai cooking with Jeff and Mark

Oh yes! Cooking with Jeff and Mark returned. We cooked some fantastic Thai food, with crudo, a Chilean raw beef dish, for an appetizer. Pad Thai, Tom Ka Gai, and curry chicken were delicious. Even though being taunted by Scott, he and John came over to crash thee party and eat our food. Oh well, it was fun.

More to come soon.
