It was about time to start sending postcards. Lily and I rode our bikes into the city and grabbed a number of postcards from our destinations over the past couple of weeks. While at the tourist information center we also did some research for this upcoming weekend. We settled on a day hike in Petrohue on Sunday to start training for Torres del Paine, a huge national park in southern Patagonia that involves a 4 day hike though some of the most beautiful terrain in the world. And now since my brother will be visiting hopefully he can make it down in time for hiking journey in the south.
We returned home and felt a little sluggish, so we laced up our sneakers and went for a run to Ensenada (the next town north along Llanquihue Lago). It was nice to run with someone else…
not as boring. We got home just before some evening showers and found that the restaurant they were building directly next to our apartment was now opening. While studying Spanish in the apartment over the past couple of weeks I have been watching this construction crew go at the renovations on the house next door in preparation for the restaurant. The speed at which they went about renovating this house was sluggish to say the least. One afternoon it took the six hours to shingle and area of the wall no bigger than 8 sq. ft. Somehow, they pulled it all together and go the job done way before Lily and I thought it would ever be finished. The good news is now we have a new restaurant to try right next door.

We threw some steaks on the grill for dinner and Lily made a corn salad on the side. We seasoned the steaks with merken tonight and they were delish. Earlier in the evening before our run we stopped in a market and I found stracciatella ice cream. I haven’t see this type of chocolate chip ice cream since I was in Italy. Obviously I bought a carton and we dug in after dinner. With a glass of ice cream and my computer we sat in bed watching Lost. Awesome!
