Leaving Valdivia

Finals are done, grades are in. Just about all the gringos have left. Ashley is on a plane at this moment headed towards me. I cannot wait to get on the road and do some real exploring. I've had an amazing time in Valdivia. (Has it really been four months??) But I'm ready to get going..hopefully towards some warmth. Here's our projected itinerary:

Concepcion 7/18

Santiago 7/21

{Mendoza, Argentina} 

Valparaiso 

Vina del Mar

La Serena

Antofagasta 

{Copiapo}

Calama/San Pedro de Atacama

Iquique

{Salta, Argentina}

Arica

---Cross into Peru---

{Arequipa, Peru}

Cuzco, Peru 8/18

{Ayacucho, Peru}

Lima 8/28

PORTLAND, OREGON 9/1

The dates in between are tentative. Going to Mendoza depends on whether the Copa America is still going on (soccer tournament). And for the rest, we will play it by how feel about the town..

Off We Go!!
