Hanging out with volcanoes is pretty routine for me.This past weekend, we had our third and final excursion with our program. We went to Frutillar to see a German museum and a lake, and we made a stop at a mercado in Puerto Montt to do some souvenir shopping, but the city we spent the most time in was Puerto Varas, a lake city with amazing views of some of Chile's finest volcanoes. We also visited Río Petrohué, which had more amazing views and some of the most beautiful water I have ever seen in my life.

A beautiful lagoon of glacial water.I may or may not have taken a swim in this gorgeous turquoise paradise. Unsurprisingly, the water was freezing! Still, how often do you get a chance to take a dip in the shadow of three Chilean volcanoes?
As y'all can probably tell from my photos, Chile is amazing and every day I get sadder and sadder about leaving it in a mere three weeks. And at the same time I get more and more excited to return to my awesome life in the states. Aside from feeling slightly conflicted, what I really feel is overwhelmingly thankful. So in honor of Thanksgiving, and also because I think about this a lot, I have to say: I am so lucky to be here, and so lucky to have amazing friends and family in Chile and in the US. I hope everyone back home had a great holiday season!
