Mold

Thursday, March 19

Today was Daniel’s last day in Chile. I was gathering some items of mine for him to bring home, and as I was digging through the closet, I was greeted by the most unpleasant surprise. We had mold in out closet that covered some of my shoes & spread to some of our clothes and jackets. I brought everything outside, and brushed the mold away. It came off fairly easily, but I was nervous of a return outbreak because the climate is so wet and damp down here, and our apartment has always had a musty smell. So I wiped everything down, washed all of the contaminated and possibly contaminated clothes, and opened all of the windows to air out the apartment. I hope this solves the problem.

In the afternoon, Daniel and I walked into town to hike up Cerra Phillippi. I wanted to show him the view of Puerto Varas from above, and despite the cloud cover, we were able to see the entire town. We snapped some pictures and made our way into town for lunch. We ate a local restaurant called La Marmusia. The food was ok, but very cheap. After all of the money we had been spending, cheap was the name of the game for lunch.

At home we had our 5th English lesson with Felipe. I think he is really getting a lot out of these lessons. As we taught, Daniel prepared dinner. We had sausage, peppers and onions Fenway Park style. It was delish. After some final packing Daniel was set to go for an early morning cab ride to the aiport.
