Puerto Varas

I got to Puerto Varas this morning. it´s a little town about 12 hours south of Santiago in the Lake District of Chile. It´s very German - it´s been easier to speak German to the hostel folks. Otherwise I spent the afternoon at a cafe with Keith, a guy at the hostel who works on river and wetland reconstruction. Coffee was good and i´m psyched for Muesli tomorrow. From the lake shore of town, you can look across and see a couple nice volcanoes in the distance, which i´ll hopefully be able to see up close on Thursday, when i take the bus-boat combo back to Argentina, landing in Bariloche. In the meantime, i´m going kayaking tomorrow with two German girls...should be fun!
