Baby steps up the Mountain

We are finally camping! Found a nice national park near Viña del Mar with lovely camping facilities and good hiking trails. Yesterday, we hiked up a mountain for some nice views of the valley, and then sat around the fire (while Matthias barbequed) at night. After a few weeks of walking around towns and cities, we (especially Matthias) are happy to spend some time in natural settings. The climate here is still quite dry - sort of Mediterranean-ish, but with cacti all over.

So, what does the Internet have to do with camping? We walked into town today to buy supplies and call Matthias´grandmother (her 91st birthday is today.) Then we´re heading back for a little more hiking and a little more grilling. Tomorrow we are off to Santiago and then points south.
