Islands, burgers, and pictionary

Filed under: the trip, Jordan, Chile — Jordan @ 8:52 am

We have not posted in a while because, frankly, there has been nothing much to write about.  We have spent the last week or so just relaxing on Chiloe island.  The hostel we stayed at was really nice!  We had a flat screen TV in our own room with 50 channels, hot shower, an all you can eat free breakfast, free internet, and it cost less than $10 per person.  We met up with Trisha and her friend Kyle and they stayed at the same hostel for a few days as well.  They were planning on catching a ferry on tuesday from Puerto Montt to Puerto Natales but Kyle had his passport stolen in Santiago and had to go back there in order to replace it.  The only interesting thing we did on Chiloe was go the national park that was there.  We hiked for a while, found a big sandy beach, and proceeded to play pictionary in the sand for a couple hours…good times!  Also, we ate at a bar what must have been the biggest hamburgers in the world.  These things are simply undescribable…in diameter they are the size of a large pizza and are like 8 inches high…amazing…I was able to eat a whole one by myself (although I did only have meat and cheese) which resulted in Trisha giving me 1000 pesos (about $2).  The ferry ride from Chaiten to Chiloe was very beautiful…you can read more about it in the moments section along with something Adam wrote about being on the road for seven weeks.  Right now we are in Puerto Montt and will be leaving on a bus to Bariloche in roughly an hour.  Love ya´ll!
