Fog Forests, Fight Club, Showers

I miss internet so much! It’s weird not being able to google the questions that come up in our conversations. The only other thing I really miss is having time to myself. The cabin is pretty small and sometimes we will all move to any possible place to be alone- somewhere outside, in the truck, or in a bedroom.

Juan was with his family for a few days and we missed him so much! He came back on Sunday and brought us avocados and olives that his mom makes. I’ve never eaten so many avocados or olives, they are so good here. He took us up to the Fog Forest that evening which was so cool! If you go in the morning you will see the ocean from the lookout spots, and maybe even some sea lions. When we went there was fog in all directions. They have native plants marked throughout the trail and Juan was showed us some that are important to the native people of Chile, the Mapuche. 

That night we watched Fight Club with Juan. He kept saying it was a very fun movie. We had to finish it the next night, and at the end he asked if we had more movies so we put in Inception. We had watched it a few nights before, but this time we put it in Spanish with English subtitles. 

I did laundry for the first time here! I think everyone should try that in their life because it was rather difficult. I’m not even sure how clean everything got but my biodegradable laundry soap smells good so I was happy. We could shower every day if we wanted to- but we would have to fill up the water tank more often. Not difficult but not necessary so I have only showered twice since being here. We seem to shower when going into town, like it's a special occasion. So I’m averaging a shower every 5 days. Loren and I started a bet in the Atlanta airport about how long Katie would go without showering in FJ. We are up to 10 days….I’m really hoping to win some $$$. Although she's been dumping water on her hair outside of the cabin and washing it so does that count???
