land

the landscape of chile's south is spectacular.i keep trying to post pictures but the internet connections are too slow down here to do more than type.
we went hiking through one of the national parks (which consists of all rocks and waterfalls, no grass thank god). it reminded my father of scotland. certainly the temperatures are about the same. yesterday we got back on the boat and sailed the darwin passage. i didnt take any photos, concluding there was no way the camera could capture what i was seeing all around me, on all sides. there were mountains everywhere you looked and blue blue water.
there are no roads connecting southern chile. front puerto montt south, the country is basically nothing but mountains and islands. if you want to go south there are three ways i am told. 1 by plane (but that costs a fortune) 2. by driving 36 hours through argentine patagonia (which is what all the big trucks do) or 3. by boat.
