travel mode, again

We are currently sitting in Andes Hostel in Santiago counting down the minutes until we leave. We have been in Santiago, Chile for 10 days and both of us feel restless and ready to move on. Tonight we will board a bus and take a twelve hour drive to Pucon, Chile where we will stay for two days.
Santiago has not been all that exciting or interesting but it did provide us a place to stay and take some spanish lessons. Buffy improved her language skills quite a bit and I improved my ability to order food. This city, however, is crowded and poluted and our sinuses and spirits desperately seek the southern air Chile is renowned for. Late next week our friend Claire will be in Bariloche, Argentina and we will begin our descent through Patagonia.
