it's been forever since we last posted because we've been crazy busy. we had three weeks vacation and traveled up north. andy will post more about that later. lots of pictures to sort through. we had a great time, and now we're back in viña for another semester. our schedules are great this semester, and we even have saturdays off. to celebrate we took a metro ride to limache and a micro to olmue to the "campana" national park. there are several hikes there, one to the top of cerro campana and others. we didn't do the one to the top because you have to leave the park by 17:30, and we didn't have time. we did a different circuit which was great. it was about seven miles, and it felt so good to get out and do some hiking!
i guess this is the first time the coastal mountains have had snow in like eight or eighty years. we have heard both figures and everything in between. we're not sure who to believe, but we are certain that everyone agrees it's been a cold winter. we are so thankful for the coming spring and the warmth it promises!! trees already have blossoms and smell so good!
here i am about half way up with my cool, new sunglasses!
look... snow!!

here we are on the micro going home!
