More Pucon
We did some fabulous sightseeing while we were in Pucon.
But, I think Penelope’s (and my) favorite thing was the thermal springs. Â We spent the afternoon lounging in the warm pools and Penny practiced her swimming. Â She did really good at floating and loved putting her head and face in the water. Â Now we have to teach her to blow bubbles!
This next photo is not the mist flattering, and I normally HATE bathing suit pictures, but I love the expressions on our faces. Â There were stairs leading down into the river, so you could go from FREEZING cold mountain water right into the hot pools. Â We got a video of Steve going into the river which we will have to post later!!
Luisa is in town!
Luisa is a good friend of ours who moved to Australia 2 years ago and makes it back to La Serena once a year. Â We were lucky enough to get to hang out with her over the weekend and then we met up for coffee this morning. Â Penny and Jack stayed home with Senora Carmen, but they were happy that Luisa came over to visit them afterwards. Â It was great seeing Luisa, and hopefully Penny will get to see her again soon!
Pucon
After spending the night and the morning at the falls, we headed down to Pucon for 2 nights. Â We had a wonderful time exploring the town, driving around the countryside and sightseeing.
View from cabana-
Hiking to the base of the volcano. Â It was smoking while we were there!
We also went and played at the black sand beach. Â Penny had a blast!
Before heading to Pucon, while we were packing the car up there was a man and horse working, and Penny was lucky enough to get to hang out with the horse. Â She really loves animals, just like her mom!
More to come from Pucon!
Salto del Laja
We headed down south this week for a vacation with Grams and had a wonderful time. Â After a 10 hour drive from La Serena, we arrived in Salto del Laja. Penelope did wonderful in the car and really enjoyed having Grams in back with her. Â The waterfalls were amazing! Â Our rooms overlooked the waterfall and we were able to sleep to the sound of the falls all night. Â Stay tuned for our next adventure!
Green Flash
Grams and Mom spent the afternoon relaxing on the patio drinking pisco sours while Penny slept. Â Penny woke up and Dad came home just in time to watch the sunset, and yes, Grams saw for the first time, a green flash!
Penny sporting her 2 new awesome hats that Grams made- a pumpkin and an apple!
