Puerto Chacabuco, Chile

Today I went on an excursion in Patagonia. We began with a 2 hour hike where we saw colorful birds and flowers along the way. So many people were looking for birds like the Chucao that I think they scared them away. It was funny because once the group moved on, me and one passenger saw this bird and took some great pictures as it wasn’t frightened. I think the most beautiful part of the tour was the waterfall at the end. The weather is surprisingly chilly here (ha!) I arrived on the ship with sundresses and no coat only to discover that I’d freeze my butt off if I didn’t get one ASAP. Anyway…after our trek, we had an awesome lunch with lots of lamb, potatoes and flan in this gorgeous building overlooking the mountains. They greeted us with champagne and Chilean wine (yum!) There was live entertainment and somehow I found myself on the dance floor doing some Chilean dance with a scarf. Many of the passengers taped it and took pictures so maybe I’ll be a YouTube star soon. What a fun day.
