Pucon!

The groups week in Pucon is coming to an end. They all are ready to start new adventures after their week off! Tomorrow they will get on a bus and head for Puerto Varas to enjoy a week of sea kayaking through the Pumalin Fjords!

Here are some highlights:

L.B. and Walker went on a climbing adventure somewhere around the Puerto Montt area. They left the second day the group was in Pucon and will meet up with them in Puerto Varas. Nothing is known about how their adventure went.... but we will soon find out!

It was rainy five out of the eight days that they were in Pucon....

Casey, Drew, Tommy, Jen, Esther, Josh, Nick, Albee, and Bob went to the Los Pazones Hot Springs for an afternoon and it was amazing! It was a bunch of warm, clear, non-sulfuric pools along side a river. It was very relaxing. (I´d like to give a shout out to Bob! We met him at our hostel. He is a Harvard Med student doing in exchange program around the Santiago area and was visiting Pucon for the weekend. Keep it real Bob!)

Casey, Albee, and Eric D. rented a car and visited some waterfalls.

Esther, Izzi, Josh, and Bob rented bikes and rode to the same waterfalls as Casey, Albee, and Eric D. drove to.

Mark, Josh, Esther went on a hunt for the river to go fishing... They walked for ever, never found the river, and then got a taxi to take them there. They fished for a while, didn´t catch anything, their taxi returned and they came home.

Tommy, Jen, Drew, Esther, and Joe rented a row boat on the lake. Their intentions were to go fishing but when they tried they learned that it´s not the right season, they didn´t have permits, and the fish in the lake have diseases.... it was a great time!

Tommy, Jen, and Albee indulged themselves in massages!

All in all the group had a great time in Pucon, but nonetheless they are ready to get out and continue on with there adventures!

Editors note- I am not sure how often we will have internet access for the rest of the trip so the updates may be few and far between, but keep checking and I will post whenever I have the opportunity!
