13 December 2021 20,000 Feet above Chile


We flew from Santiago to Puerto Montt and then took a shuttle to Puerto Varas.  We got to the airport early and enjoyed a few cups of tea at the Fritz.  There were some clouds and some haze along the way.  The volcanos were able to rise above all of it.  It is awe inspiring to see such amazing sights.  It helped pass the time while I was compressed into my tine Latam seat.  It was great to see our name on the placard as we exited the airport.


Big renovations going on at the airport


Traditional indeed


No beer this early for us


Leaving Santiago we saw a large flood plain from a river


We have reached our cruising altitude 


Snow capped with a river flowing out 


One big chunk of rock


Rising above the cloud layer


We have arrived at the lakes region!


You know you have arrived when you see your name


Wild flowers everywhere


Swiss influence?
