punta arenas to santiago

our flight from Punta Arenas to Santiago wasn't due to take off until 6 pm, so our plan was to take the 3 hour bus trip from Puerto Natales to Punta Arenas at 9 am and have the whole day to explore

what we ended up doing: spontaneously deciding to get off the bus when it made a stop at the Punta Arenas airport so we didn't have to pay money for a bus back and forth between downtown and the airport later that day.

conclusion: we hung out at the airport for 6 full hours. and i was harassed by this child.
everyone knows i'm not a fan of babies. my face says it all:


i spent my time on the plane writing postcards and eating the 2 full airplane meals we were served. so much for hoping to lose weight on this trip, because i felt so food deprived after spending 5 straight days in the mountains that i couldn't stop myself from eating everything in sight for the next week...or three.

some final memorable quotes of the trip:

*in the grocery store* "i had to act out nail clippers to ask where they were because i always mix up uñas with uvas" (uñas = nails; uvas = grapes)
..led to the hypothetical scenario of how to act out asking for toilet paper

"i am not responsible for my actions"

"alligator death roll"

"i'm going to tell people i did the W in one day. i'll just show them my pictures and say "see! i'm wearing the same outfit!'"

"no way. you totally just quadrapopped"

stepping off the plane in Santiago!


and we were welcomed home by the typical street performers that act for money at red lights! this guy was awesome because he had flame throwers
