Day 232 - Entering Chile

(Ursula) Heinz had to drive very carefully down the snow-covered mountain road. After just a few Miles, the road was dry again.

Then we turned left by a sign marked Aguas Calientes. When we got there, we found a simple campground and met other travelers, Toni Amstutz from Switzerland and his wife, Susan from Canada.

We bundled up and sat around a warm campfire, eating dinner and chatting. When it was dark, we all hiked down a path to the hot springsi and hung our underwear on nearby bushes.

It was awesome soaking our bodies in the hot pools n the river bed, looking at the moon and starry sky. It was so nice and cozy we didn’t want to leave. When we finally decided to get out, our underwear had been stolen!

We all tiptoed naked up the trail, single file, to our campers. That was too funny - we all laughed about it!
