Article

My school, Universidad de Los Andes, did an article about the exchange students. There's a picture of the group of us. They interviewed eached of us, but I don't think they quote my interview at all.

Ancud - Ancud is on the northern edge of Chiloe. I actually didn't go there. My friends stayed in Chiloe one day more than I did. Here's some penguins they saw.

Castro - this is "curanto". It's a typical dish of southern Chile. They have an interesting way of making it. I didn't see it made, but I think it's cooked over heated rocks.

Castro - Here we are along the water in Castro. In Chiloe they have really good seafood and shellfish (pescados y mariscos).

Chonchi - another pic from the party, called a "fonda". We ate empanadas and drank beer. Pretty typical for a fonda. There was lots of dancing. There's a national dance of Chile, called the "cueca".

Chonchi - here's a party we went to in Chonchi. It was to celebrate a national holiday, kind of like July 4th in the USA.

Chiloe - this in Ancud or Puerto Montt, I'm not sure. But it's another pretty church.
