Well i made it to Chile in one piece and met david and katie for the first time at the baggage claim area. Soon after i saw the familiar face of Matt Smink and he introduced us to our super cool spanish teacher Lorenzo. We all  then hopped into the truck and drove off only to run into our first problem of the trip as the radiator pipe burst. After we used the magical powers of duck tape to repair this we headed of to our home for the next four days at San Alfonso.  Our home is right next to the river maipo which has two sections the upper and lower. The upper is grade 4/5 and the lower is grade three. There is also an adventure resort called Cascada de las Animas (Waterfalls of the Spirits) where there is a bar, restaurant and campsite where we will be spending tomorrow night.
