Ridiculous One Liners

On Monday, our bus left at 10 am and did not arrive in Vina del Mar, Chile until 7 pm. Going through the mountains takes a long time. We were not thinking correctly when all of dressed for warm weather, since our destination was the beach. Passing though the mountains, it was snowing! So began the ridiculous one liners (mostly from Joyce). That became a joke with our group along with "you're" jokes.
After getting settled into our hostel we exchanged money again and went to Pepe's Pizza for dinner. I had a calzone, Canada Dry and tiramisu! It was still warm enough, so we walked down to the beach. After an hour, we walked back. Tuesday morning, we had to find a cambio, go to the beach again and get on a bus to Lo Valdes. At the beach, a few of us climbed out to a rock in the ocean. While we were taking pictures, a wave washed over us and we were soaked!! Very Little Mermaid. After grabbing a light lunch we hopped on the bus, having no idea where our ride would pick us up. It all worked out and the ride out to the reserve was beautiful. It was long but we sang most of the way. God had been with us through everything and now we could truly feel his majesty. We were in the heart of the Andes Mountains :D
Wednesday the plan was to go horseback riding then to the hot springs but that fell through. We attempted to walk the 7 mi up to the hot springs, but it just wasn't worth it. Kate, Linley and I turned back. We sat on a rock for about an hour, just talking about life and how God was working(of course while drinking mate'). That was such a blessing! That evening, once everyone came back, we explored around the house. There was a pond, lavender bushes, trees to climb and trails to explore. When the sun was going down, we all sat on one of the large rocks on the side of the mountain and sang together.
Next stop: Santiago, Chile
