Pucon

The past weekend I traveled to Pucon, a beautiful touristy town about 3 hours away from Valdivia. There are several lakes around, and a big active volcano (last eruption 1971). Most people travel here to do X-treme things like x-treme snowboarding, x-treme river rafting, and regular volcano climbing. We were on a budget so we didn't do any of those things. Instead, the first day we went walking by the lake and this guy let us go out in his paddle boat for awhile. I definitely gave me arms a lot  of exercise, not that those guns need it or anything. The second day there we rented bikes and explored some really nice trails in the countryside. It was a great time indeed, and the Volcano didn't erupt while we there, allowing us to narrowly escape complete annihilation and lava related deaths. Otherwise, I am doing really well here in Valdivia and everything is going great.
