Yellow Fever Vaccine Victory in Punta Arenas

March 25, 2023 by Katie Kelley 4 Comments

Before we left for Chile, Mark suggested we visit the Amazon while we were in the neighborhood of South America. We’d been planning camping trips, so when he said “Amazon”, I pictured tents, pythons, dart frogs, and many creatures of the night. I hard “no-ed” it. After planning and replanning some things, we decided to […]

Obituary for an Old Friend

March 13, 2023 by Katie Kelley 1 Comment

My dearest crockpot, before we even moved to Santiago, I asked about you in Chilean expat forums. I knew if we were going to be adventuring all day, we’d need to come home to meals warm and ready. You, my friend, were just that. I found you on the blessed Gringos in Chile Whatsapp group. […]

The Queulat Camping Quandary

March 11, 2023 by Katie Kelley 1 Comment

We almost didn’t camp in Parque National Queulat. Mark had a big call for his new job pop up, and we needed to have cell service so that he could take that call. We decided to pull into the closest town to Queulat, which was Puyuhuapi, and see how reception was. I didn’t want to […]

Nights outside Futaleufu

March 7, 2023 by Katie Kelley Leave a Comment

One thing Mark and I were talking about recently is just how loud Chile has been. In Santiago, we had the apartment parties across the street with our favorite penthouse guy that liked to party until 7am on Wednesdays and Thursdays. We had the kid who played soccer at 2am on his porch below us […]

Food Delivery in Puerto Varas

March 5, 2023 by Katie Kelley Leave a Comment

When we were in Puerto Varas, we had a long day coming back from Chiloe and were nearly out of groceries. Mark and I ordered some Uber Eats which was surprisingly available in Puerto Varas, the only other place we’d seen it offered was Santiago. We were pretty pumped to have dinner delivered. We placed […]

Grocery Store Rankings in Chile

March 4, 2023 by Katie Kelley Leave a Comment

We spent a lot of time figuring out where to go for what at our grocery stores in Vitacura and on the road. Here’s some of our findings. Unimarc In Santiago, about 2 months after we moved in, the Unimarc down the street reopened after being closed for a fire. We could find mostly what […]

Earthworms and Cyclops

March 1, 2023 by Katie Kelley 1 Comment

Jane and Wilson are always singing. They sing the musical, Hadestown, while we’re hiking or doing school work. They make up random songs about what we’re doing and sing them frequently. They sing funny songs or change lyrics to make funny songs and sing them to each other in the car. So kids, this post […]

Wilson & Prayer

February 28, 2023 by Katie Kelley Leave a Comment

The kids have been away from Catholic school for almost a full school year now. Well technically they’re doing virtual Catholic schooling through the Diocese of Raleigh but its outsourced through a group called Hudson Global Scholars which has no religious affiliation. We had the joy of attending a lovely non-denominational church in Santiago and […]

World Travelers

February 23, 2023 by Katie Kelley 1 Comment

It’s no secret that the kids ask to go home daily. This has hurt our parental adventure sprits a bit, but recently we’ve seen some glimmers of hope. The kids say things like, “I really want to travel to Japan. You know where they only have cute things like anime and no hiking.” “Can we […]

The Libby App

February 22, 2023 by Katie Kelley 1 Comment

While traveling for school, the kids have to keep up with their reading and language arts assignments. I do have a few physical books for them but the reality is that 1) We have to travel with whatever we own which doesn’t allow for many physical books. 2) There are very few English book stores […]
