Quintay
Last Monday (I know, I'm getting more and more behind!) I went to Quintay with my friends Lauren, Jen, and Maria. Its a quiet little fishing town about 45 minutes from here. We explored an old whaling port (I don't know what you would call it exactly...) (the boat below is one they would use to bring in blue whales a loooooong time ago! wow!), ate seafood and empanadas (and probably drove the waitress crazy... we were the only ones in the restaurant, so she kept waiting for us while we couldn't make up our minds. Plus, they didn't have a lot of things on the menu, so she kept having to clarify), played on a playground, and explored some paths on a hill going down to a rocky beach on the other side of the town. It was a beautiful day!

Hi Katie,
As usual you have some awesome pix. I think the whaling boat looks way to small for that kind of fishing. I will stick to shore fishing for bass and bluegill. I wish there would be a way to someday see Chile and have a guide like you to show me all the neat stuff. The scenery and all the wildflowers would have to look much better in person. Enjoy your final two months there and keep up the good posts and pix.

Those Pink flowers are AMAZING!!!
I was gonna say I liked the purple flowers, but since Abby thinks they're pink, I'll say the picture with the flowers is really neat. Looking forward to more pix! How do you get to places like this?
This one we took a colectivo (cheap taxi) to get there for a little more than $3/person, and then took the bus that runs a couple times a day back for about $2. My friend Jen's host family told her how we could get there.
Inter-city/town transportation in Chile is really good, which is great for us!
