Termas de Chillan

Sra. Gloria asked us one day what all we had done in Chillan. She was so disappointed that we hadn't been to the Termas (hot pots) yet. She told us she would take us that Friday when we got to CONIN. Paige wasn't able to come because she wasn't feeling well. Sra. Gloria and two other tias took time off from work and drove us up the mountains in the CONIN van. It was beautiful. The snow was coming down gently like in the movie White Christmas and everything was covered in it. We weren't able to make it all the way up to the termas because the road was slippery, but it was still a lot of fun. They had packed a lunch for us and even offered to take us to taste some of Chile's famous wine! Of course we had to disappoint them and turn it down even for medicinal purposes, but it was a sweet gesture.

All of us up in the mountains.

Sra. Gloria really really wanted us to take pictures by these strange things on the side of the road because they had volcanic rock on them. We decided they made us look like peacocks.

Us getting a little too excited about snow.

Jamie really liked the snow.
