Gaining grounds

This weekend we were busy getting ready for the first day of school. Mila and I also got to spend Saturday working in the fields for Gaining Grounds and delivering food to local families that are food insecure. 

Horseback riding and whitewater rafting

Today we had a great day horseback riding and whitewater rafting. The mountains and horses were amazing. Then it was a quick roadside lunch before whitewater rafting where the water was very cold but the rapids were strong. After we warmed up, we showered and went to the airport. It was a great trip!

 

Ski Arpa

Today we went to Ski Arpa. Ski Arpa is a small shack deep in the Andes where 4 ski guides and a cat life all winter and back country ski all winter. It was an amazing experience.

Skiing in Portillo

 We just spent a few great days skiing in Portillo. In addition to skiing we got to swim, rock climb, play ping-pong and eat more good food. Elan and Mila both participated in a ski race and are coming home with some hardware.

Santiago

We were able to spend a day in Santiago. We went to the top of one of the big hills in the city and the view were great. We also went to a winery and ate some great local food. Tomorrow it is off to more skiing
