Ahh friends. I recently joined orkut.com (like friendster 2.0), and I see the value in this becuase right now, i am LIVING with friends of friends. Thanks Ben, you are the best.

Thomas and Lia have been kind enough to open their home and their hearts to me, and I really feel cared for. Their home is spectacular, and the setting in pto montt is perfect. This weekend, we took a trip to the old Ralun Hotel (it burned down) where they purchaced the remainign cabins and now have a great cottage!

Here are a few pictures of our fun.

The best part was the elevated hot tub that was filled with semi warm water from an underwater hot spring. THEN heated to a LOVELY 43 degrees by a submarine oven / stove!

Tonight I had a nice dinner with the Rio Tranquilo crew, reunited here in the city, they are so great! I hope they all come to Canada some day.

Tommorow, Thomas is going to take me to see some salmon fisheries. I will report in.

All the best
