Family Time

Sorry for the lack of updating lately, I was fortunate enough to have 3 sets of visitors to come to see me in Chile so I've been super busy since Christmas enjoying the summer here with friends and family. As you saw in earlier posts, one of my super bff's and her hubby came to visit me over their winter break. We brought in the New Year properly and then they made their way back to the States in time to start their respective second semesters.

A week after M and J left, the other M and J came down, my mom and step dad, that is. My step dad had bypass surgery in June so it was great that we were able to hike all the way to the top of Cerro San Cristobal...

We also took the tour and tasted some wine at Cousino Macul...

Then my Aunt Dawn and Uncle Tom came and we maximized the space in the casita...

Ita and Sole put together a delicious meal to welcome them...

And then the guitar playing and singing began...

Even Otto joined in...

The next day we climbed the other cerro, Cerro Santa Lucia...

The view from one cerro to the other...You can even still see a couple of snow capped mountains lingering in the back drop...

I feel very lucky that my friends and family were able to come all the way down here and share this part of my life with me, and in two weeks I'll be re-joining my aunt and uncle down in Punta Arenas for the next phase of the adventure!
