Almost time for Chile

I know it's a bit odd to be writing about Chile on a blog titled Bolivia Bound, but them's the breaks. Jojo and I head west to Chile (Arica, first, it's the destination most busses take towards Chile) and then south.... waaaaay south. All the way to Puerto Montt. Check out this picture from Google Earth to get an idea of where and how far we'll be traveling to meet them. It's approximately 3,144 km. We're leaving on wednesday, the 15th I think, and we should arrive in Puerto Montt on the 19th, so we can wake up and meet Deborah and Rolf on the pier.

This is a very exciting moment for me, and the fulfillment of a dream i've had for a long long time. To sail with my aunt and uncle, to adventure in such a pure fashion. I'll be offline for a while once we get on the boat, but until then, i'll try to keep you posted.

Best,

Eli
