We met up with four Aussies and Brits from our tour for "terremotos" and salsa dancing. Terremotos aka earthquakes are local drinks made with a mixture of drinks and pineapple ice cream. Our tour guide took us to a local salsa club and taught us all how to salsa dance onstage. It was a blast! We all played "who am I?" (with names on our foreheads) and it was very funny. Our favorites were Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian. One of the Aussies is an ER doctor and he was showing us super gross cell phone pictures of things he has come across. One was when there were tons of locusts in Australia, and he pulled two legs, then a huge body of a locust out of a girl's ear. Another one was when a guy split his head,from forehead to the base of his skull-- still not totally sure how he did that... Needless to say we all had a lot of fun talking and dancing together.
This morning we decided to hike up a local mountain called, San Cristobal. We were initially going to mountain bike it but decided just to hike because it was really steep. We set off around mid-day, not a very good idea because it was about 90 degrees with no shade. After about an hour we made it to the top of the mountain which has a massive statue of the Virgin Mary on it (similar to the Jesus statue in Rio). We sat down and at lunch with a guy we met who is from San Fran but now works with a marine biology company in Patagonia. We had mote, which is a cup filled with tea, chunks of peaches, and something similar to a cereal. It was very good, oh and an empanada! After our hike we checked into our new hotel to meet up with our tour. Now we are packing and getting ready for an intense 5 day trek through Torres Del Paine national park on the W trek. No internet for a week will be really weird, but also very exciting to finally be off the grid :)
Love you all!
Ciao
