I know you Canucks have been experiencing winter’s snow and cold lately but you acclimatized over a couple months. Gee, it was COLD last night……it was our 1st night in a tent on this trip and going from 30 degree plus to near 0 is hard on the old body……….elevation does that down here in the Andes. Today the sun was warm but the draft created by the 74 to 80 k speed of our wheels was bone chilling….then those 6 GS BMW’s almost blew us of the road. They tooted and waved and within seconds were mire specs ahead………
Stopped for Cafe negro using sign language for the size as they were going to give me an espresso in a cup that you could accidently swallow. I just pointed at what I wanted to eat and said si to whatever they were saying and I ended up with a hot roll………..all was good and we all laughed.
Snapped a pick of a dormant snow capped Volcano about 80 k from our current location
hydro lines in the way….
Not sure that this is the same one, but taken from Puerto Montt.
Entering the city with my GPS set for a hostel, it located, I put us in danger when I entered a one way street and drove the entire block dogging traffic. The hostel located was a run down house which could be used in a Hitchcock horror film. We went to another a couple blocks away. Nightly rate a little steep for our budget at $20.00 each for the night but it does include breakfast……just down the street I had checked a hotel and they wanted $ 80.00 for a double room…so it was a no brainer when you are trying to live on $ 30.00 or less a day. 
entry to hostel after a climb up stairs.
The Bedroom…
The Bano is up those stairs at the end of the hall……..kind of spooky.
From my bedroom window…..
I think this is were breakfast is served.
Tomorrow, I made ( on my own ) an appointment to have my oil and filter changed plus an overall check for 9 am. See you tomorrow.
