a new trip : Chile and Argentina

Well, after my aborted Japan trip, and everything that had to be done in last 6 months in dealing with my mother´s estate, in addition to being very busy at work, it is time for a long overdue vacation. This time Celene and I are travelling together. It´s the first international trip we´ve done together in quite a few years.

We decided on Chile and Argentina partly for the weather in November, and for something that neither of us had seen before.

I just realized that this is my first time south of the Equator. I can´t wait to see water going down the drain in the opposite direction:)

We arrived today in Santiago, Chile. It was a long flight: 5 hours to Toronto, layover in Toronto, then 10 hours to Chile. The view of the mountains during landing was spectacular. The landscape looks drier than I expected. Right now we´re getting some sleep in the hotel. Our hotel is very centrally located so I´m going to walk around a bit.

Santiago will be our only stop in Chile. After a few days here we fly to Argentina, where the stops will be Mendoza, Buenos Aires, and the southern tip of the continent.
