We are now in Panguipulli and we are going to take a bus to Los Lagos. Then, we'll take another to Osorno and another to Puerto Octay or Puerto Varas to go to Parque Nacional Vincente Perez Rosalez. Yes, a lot of buses.
We spent the last week in Santiago and Concepción, where I met the family of Borges and where we spent relaxing moments drinking micheladas and talking about politic under a patio in a summer's afternoon with Juan Carlos - that gave me as gifts a book called "Las vienas abiertas de America Latina" and an album by Violeta Parra, one of the best Chilean songwriter ever, that I really appreciated.
I'm here from two weeks more or less and I'm deeply in love with this country.
And I'm fascinated from their traditions, like "once": the meal they eat rather than dinner, with bread, cheese, palta, ham, tea or coffee. Like a breakfast but in the evening.
Maybe is obvious to say but the best way to know a country as better as you can is traveling with someone who is born there, in my opinion. I'm trying a lot of Chilean typical dishes like porotos granados, tomatican, empanadas de queso, manjar... And so on. I'll write a post about Chilean food only someday because I'm really get addicted to some of these things.
I should write something about me and Borges too, but not now. He's sitted next to me on the bus and I want let him read what I'm writing.
So, hasta luego.
With the Panamericana running under us.
Morgana.
