Tuesday, March 3Daniel was scheduled to arrive tonight and I couldn’t have been more excited. I spent the day cleaning the apartment and preparing dinner. I have never felt so domestic and hope I never feel this domestic again. But, I wanted to give Daniel a proper welcome.
For dinner I made my second batch of Nonna sauce since I’ve been down here. I used a different brand of sauce this time and it came out a bit sweeter than normal, but still good. Lily grabbed some Chilean desserts, and I had planned on making pisco sours to accompany dinner.
We hopped in a cab to meet Daniel at the airport at 10:30pm. He arrived no problems, and bearing gifts. He had some last minute items for the hike like a compass, hiking pants and socks for me, and a present from my mother. She had knitted both me and Lily winter hats for the hike. They were amazing! It was great to have a touch of home to bring with us to Torres del Paine.
We chowed down on pasta & for dessert had pisco sours with ariza and alfajores (typical Chilean desserts with lots of manjar). Gotta love it. After dinner we loaded up all of the hiking backpacks in preparation for our early departure tomorrow morning to Punta Arenas. Wooohoooo!
