today’s driving led me down to frutillar, puerto montt, puerto varas and parque vicente perez rosales — another huge and beautiful national park. frutillar is a small german village on the edge of a large lake. hidden in the clouds is the top of a snow capped volcano (can you spot it?). puerto montt is a small port town…vaguely reminiscent of fisherman’s wharf if it were a city, and not a tourist trap. puerto varas is a nice town about 50km further down the same lake as frutillar. but, those cities were all a bit dead, so i went instead to the park. here, i walked around for the afternoon (the park is very big, and includes the volcano visible from frutillar), then setup camp by the beach….by setup camp, i mean i parked, maneuvered the foam padded rear seats a bit and slept. i’m close, but still haven’t figured out the best way to sleep in the car.

so what’s the deal with chile’s obsession with 80s music? in some areas, over half of the stations are playing 80s. it’s like i’m constantly being rick-rolled. (not that i’m complaining)
