OUR SOUTH AMERICAN ADVENTURE
After spending most of our lives in the continent of North America, we decided that it was time to explore the land that is occupied by our South American neighbors, so on Thursday, January 29th, we flew from Tampa down to Miami and from there, down to Santiago, Chile, where we spent three days touring this lovely and very interesting city both on foot and by bus before our long and final bus ride to the pier where our cruise ship, the Celebrity Infinity, was docked, awaiting our arrival for the beginning of our two week cruise down and around this fascinating continent.
We arrived two days later at Puerto Montt, where we enjoyed a most enjoyable half-day tour of this very interesting city, which is the capital of the Lake District, where we saw colorful shingled houses, the neo-classical cathedral in the Plaza de Armas and the picturesque Angelmo Fishing Wharf, followed by lush countryside to Puerto Varas overlooking Lake Llanquihue, Chile's largest lake.
