One month of Excitement

I haven't posted in the last month because I have been out of the country! My parents who have been serving an LDS mission in Chile were being released in August. I decided I would go and bring them home. What a vacation! The trip started out in Fruita were I left Daisy in a kennel and Greg picked her up on the weekends. I traveled down to California to visit my sister and her family for almost a week. I then journeyed down to San Diego to attend a conference fro school. A week later I flew to South America.

I spent about a week in Santiago, Chile with my parents. Chile was beautiful and while there I was jealous of Melissa who was able to serve a mission here also.

They lived a couple of blocke from the MTC, temple, mission home and area offices. I was not expecting to do as much walking as we did. Santiago is a big city with skyscrapers and smog. It is also nestled in by the Andes to make a beautiful backdrop.

We went out to the coast one day to San Antonio and Cartahegna. We got the visit the fish markets and watch the fisher men bring home their catches.





On another day we hiked to the top of a mountain to see a giant statue of the Virgin Mary. I kid you not we hiked a good 10 miles all uphill. The views at the top were amazing.


On the way down we took the ferrico which was kinda scary considering we were going straight down.


You may be thinking why hasn't she posted any pictures of the exotic food? The answer is simple...the food was gross! It was so bland and not very good.

I have so many more pictures. All of the pictures are on our smug mug account. The link is on the side under family album.
