Monday, March 2
I went for a run this morning, and when I returned I met Lily at the front of our apartment building with loads of camping equipment. Her co-worker Carolina dropped off a ton of stuff including two tents, a sleeping bag, and four sleeping pads. Talk about coming through in the clutch. These were the last remaining items we needed. Soon after, Nati stopped by with another, larger, tent and 2 more sleeping pads. I was a little nervous that we would be scrambling at the end to tie everything together, but now we were all set to go.
Lily went back to work and I spent the afternoon setting up all 3 tents on the beach to make sure they had all of the pieces and to see which ones would be best for our trip. We decided on the 4-person tent from Nati because it was the biggest and we could divide the pieces of the tent between everyone to distribute the weight. Also, it was very high quality, which was key, because we had been warned about the high winds and potential of rain in Torres del Paine. This couldn’t have turned out any better. Now my only apprehension is whether or not my sleeping bag will be warm enough.
Hi Everyone, This blog is meant to give you a little more insight on my experience in Chile that may not be evident through the photo albums alone. I hope you enjoy some of my posts. Alex
