It has been a fun couple of days here in Chile. We went to Vina del Mar and Valparaiso which are two coastal towns right next to each other about an hour from Santiago. In the summer time the beaches are full of people and Vina hosts one of the biggest music festivals in the world. However, now in the fall it is a little more abandoned. Even though abandoned, it is still beautiful. Hopefully I will be able to put up some photos later. We were going to travel further north to La Serena but my traveling companions wanted to see some other friends in Santiago and then travel further south to visit a friend. So... we returned to Santiago and my companions went south to Talca. Last night we had an asado with some friends from daniel´s ward who are getting sealed in the temple. Today we are going to the temple and then I will be going to stay with another friend from my mission.
Yesterday we had a little scare when someone told us that the Cordillera was closed due to snow and that it wouldn´t be open until September. If that were true it would mean we would have to travel about 8 hours south to cross the Andes were they are quite so tall. That would take a lot of time and complicate our trip quite a bit. We called the bus company and they told us that the cordillera still isn´t closed so we are in luck.
