Chiloé Map
For those of you following our adventures, here is a map of the fabled Island of Chiloé - home to witches, mysteries, and free roaming livestock...
Click on the map (or just about any of my pictures) for a bigger version. (hint: if you hold your mouse pointer over the enlarged picture and then see an orange box in the lower right hand corner of the picture, click on that box for an even larger view.)

Jack - I have gained five pounds just from reading your travelogue! Super Bowl was very un-super, but spring training starts soon. Do Chileans play baseball at all or is it strictly a football (international sense) country? More importantly, do they have bleachers?
Late breaking news...we are going to have a week of s...s...su...su...I just can't say the word...it won't be cloudy!

Jack - late breaking question from Nancy. Have you seen many "Monkey Puzzle" or "Pirana" trees - latin family Arucaria, named after the Aracanos of Arauco - maybe not far from where you are. There are apparently large groves of them - they are a favorite of Nancy!

Thanks Ward. We had two days of rain here and now it was sunny and hot again...
Tell Nancy that I've seen many monkey trees in yards around the towns. I don't think we'll get to the forests of the trees this trip because I think they are over on the mainland pretty much straight east of here and there's not much in bus access that way (the road tends to end up at Puerto Montt on the mainland...). But as far as the domesticated monkey tree - I've seen more than a hundred of them. They're one of my favorites too...
