I surfed the ocean for the first time in the colorful beach town of Pichilemu.

At the Rio Claro, I learned a lot about photography, got lost in the woods, and ran a lot of water falls like the Siete Tazas.

The Achibueno! We spent most of our time relaxing by the cozy fire, reading books, and playing games.

We finished off the quarter in Pucon, where we stay at Dave's place. Pucon is a lively tourist city with lots of paddling options.

When I went back to Chile for third quarter I found myself missing Melina

. . . and Haakon.

Every day I saw a new beautiful Chilean landscape.

Soon it was time to go home. The Santiago Airport was outside due to damage from the earthquake

The last quarter, it's coming to an end, and the week at NOC was my favorite. There was a competition, which was my first, and a busy vibe. Melina, the old English came to visit. The week was great.

Now, there is only one day left. I'm going to enjoy every last moment and hope to be back next semester.
