Deciding not to endure the Seattle winter this year, I've gone to the southern hemisphere for six months. First a month of travel in Bolivia and north and central Chile, then on to southern Chile for my internship with the Chol Chol Foundation in Temuco. Fundacion Chol Chol is a fair trade organization that promotes the artisan work of Mapuche weavers.

crossing into chile
On the third day of the jeep trip, we wake up at 4:00 in the dark and freezing morning. I don´t want to get up but Mike says, "Wanna know something that will make you get out of bed really fast? There´s bed bugs." Away we go, into the jeep and onto the geysers which are best seen at sunrise. After that we are rewarded with a dip in the thermal baths and a breakfast of pancakes. By 9:00am, we are dropped off at the border to take the bus into Chile.
