We drove about an hour from our AirBnB outside of Futaleufu towards Chaiten for a pleasant hike to see a glacier in Corcovado national park.
Earthworms and Cyclops
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
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 […]
Antartica Expedition Videos
We shared all the stories and photos from our Antarctica expedition. Finally got around the getting videos off the GoPro. Here they are. Arrival in Antarctica Whale Watching at Harry Island Continental Landing at Paradise Bay Continental Landing at Orne Harbor Tours by Jane (Edited by Jane) Ice at Foyn Harbor Departing Puerto Williams after […]
At Home in Futaleufu
We settled into our AirBnB outside Futaleufu. It’s actually well outside Futaleufu, about 45 kms. It’s remote. The water is pumped from the Futaleufu River, the electricity is strained, and hot water is inconsistent. While the house lacks certain comforts and consistencies, the redeeming quality is its location in the valley and on the river. […]
Hornopiren – Caleta Gonzalo Ferry on Carretera Austral
Heading south on the Carretera Austral from Hornopiren requires a 4.5 hour ferry ride (actually made up of two ferries with a stretch of gravel road between them). We booked our passage on the ferry months in advance, as we were concerned the high traffic season would impede our ability to secure fare at a […]
Into Northern Patagonia via Hornopiren
After 16 days in Puerto Varas in the Lakes district, we loaded up the 4Runner with all of our gear and luggage and started on the southern journey on Ruta 7, the Carretera Austral. Our first leg of the trip was down to Hornopiren. It took about four hours and included a 30 minute ferry […]
World Travelers
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
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 […]
Beach Day in Puerto Varas, Chile
As we wound down our 16 days in Puerto Varas, we tended to spend time exploring the town and playing on its lake beaches. Without any beach toys, floats, or other items, there wasn’t much to do on the beach. We found a lot of fun in simple activities. Wilson and I threw the baseball. […]
