As you might be able to tell, there's a gap between the first Chile post and the most recent entry about Patagonia. What happened in the meantime? Well, here's some photos to update you all on just that.

*Apologies in advance because I was stupid and didn't bring a spare battery and my camera battery was almost dead, so most of these are low-quality phone pics. (I tried to save the battery for the ocean pics.)

| I presented at this seminar for my internship |
|
Kevin (who I mentioned in the Patagonia post), for his internship, had to travel to Concepción for the same seminar I was presenting at - he's studying in Santiago, and he also goes to Midd. Anyway, since I'm the only other person from the program in Concepción, he asked if I could show him around the couple days he was in the city, and after Friday's seminar (and my afternoon class), I decided we could go to San Pedro de la Paz to see the ocean (because in all the time he's been in Santiago, he hasn't had the chance to go to the coast or really see any water - and he's from L.A., so, it makes sense that he's used to it). And so began our (mis)adventure...
 |
| the micro we got on went to the wrong side of town |
 |
| kind of seems like a wasteland |
 |
| but, hey, we finally found the beach! |
 |
| they were some fierce waves |
