So I'll make it short & sweet:
1. 75cent ride to the airport: We were due to arrive at the airport at 5am, latest. We decided to give the public transport a chance....took us about 3 hours but was an interesting ride. Plenty of people board buses here throughout the night. There was a dad with his child on the bus telling his kid a "bedtime story" at 2am in the morning!
2) Crossing the Andes- Amazing views of snow-peaked mountains from our window....
3) Experiencing missionary life firsthand: We had the privilege to stay with Boen & Cristine Liem, a Dutch couple who speak English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese (!) The couple is a LOT of fun....we did shopping, cooking, preaching, eating....everything together. It was a wonderful experience!
4. Cantonese meeting
"Ming bok ma?" The Chile Chinese congregation hosts a meeting once every 2 months in Cantonese. We were able to attend one of these meetings, and there was quite a good turnout of Cantonese Bible students.
5. Betel de ChileStaying with the Bethel family was definitely a highlight of our trip. Since it was a family of only 120+ people, a lot of people knew where we were from already...
6. Vine del Mar y Valparaiso
Finally, I got to tread in the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean.... then I realized that I really don't have a six-pack after all....
