As we could not break through the weekend, could not do anything else that going to walk, which seems to be a bit of a luxury apartment with a fully bulk . The timeliness of our neighbors even when these positives. Saturday night was so quiet dinner with colleagues Cosmonaut's Mark and Loula, a English couple who arrived there some time. We ate in Liguria, one of the best places in Santiago near our house.
The next day we had a little trouble getting up, but then we remembered that we have the batter in the fridge and fruit red and then we saw the weather is nice. So we had breakfast, it was equipped with our identity documents and we went to wake Pathfinder. I have to explain why we laugh documents. Pathfinder is not allowed to travel and not travel on the highway. What is clear, given that it does not move at all. We have no beeper Special highways, traffic or permission. But it runs and it took twice the motorway. We'll see what will happen ...
We left Santiago in the direction of the Reserva Yerba Loca located near ski resorts. But we completely forgot that this Sunday, there's the marathon in Santiago. Good idea down the government absolute shod cars in this city, it seems. It has recalled the marathon in a traffic jam in Rotonda Perez Zujovic. This roundabout four lanes of traffic, fire and assemble the cars going in every direction, flashing or not, in the sense that they will or not is my nightmare. I do not drive and my father and my brother think it's because I am a woman and a woman, it can not drive. The day that I spend time point in the Rotunda while driving, I'll tell them to try to do the same thing and I'm fine me laugh because I'm sure they dare not. Sunday, for cons, the Rotonda is widely circulated. But here there was a cap. Ah, the marathon! "There's something for an hour there." Cosmonaut said, disgusted. But me, I had confidence in Chile. With their love for emissions of exhaust pipes. And I did well. We did not wait or 15 minutes. Once there was a little room between the runners, the police have allowed the movement of cars. After the Rotonda, we took Americo Vespucio and runners had to run a full route, and the rest belonged to cars ... of course. It does not even stop when the traffic for a few thousand athletes crazy, eh? I hope the prize includes free care in the oncology department of a prestigious clinic. The road climbed and climbed and after about 40km, at turn 15, was seen entering the reserve. The paved road is being transformed into a dirt road, scaring drivers to their cars. Except for drivers who began the cosmonaut regret that the path is still quite good and you can spend with any car and it is pointless to put all four wheels on the road. But fortunately, after the first turn, he had to cross a creek and the road was deteriorating more and more. The cars were crawling in front of us had the good idea to park in first parking lot and was thus able to advance far and farther. Finally, we arrived at a pan
ring that said: "The glacier, 17km. "You want to continue?", The cosmonaut was asked. I knew it shod him bein happy if I said yes, but I do not see a path for cars to us, "Me, I garerait and I would continue on foot, "I said so." Mmm "the cosmonaut said, hands on the wheel, looking sadly at him." Because I think it is a path for pedestrians, " I added after a moment of silence during which the cosmonaut remained motionless. "That's not what I asked you," he replied, "You want to continue or not?" Oh, it is malignant, the cosmonaut. If you do not give the answer he wants to hear, it is the question! "No," I said. "Me, I'll try." he decided and he pressed the accelerator. 
And it continued. purring Pathfinder in our shaking sand in all directions. After traveling and available 100 meters, we saw another four four parked. Right now, we started to dig into the fine sand. The Cosmonaut stopped and he started all four wheels. Pathfinder hummed and he came out without problems. The Cosmonaut's face lit with a smile very happy. So we were finally able to park and walk . Yes, the cosmonaut and Pathfinder, is love. The path led along a creek which later became Mapucho and here is a stream and wild blue. We climbed into his valley for three hours and was admired peaks, small, which have only 4000mètres, and large, Paloma and Plomo, which are covered by glaciers. Climb the glacier was a bit too much for a little walk this afternoon but is expected to make a good two-day trek again.
the evening we were invited to Stan and Manka, a couple of the Czech Centre. It was washed in Mapucho (before he returned to Santiago, of course) because it was very dirty, and we went to pick up their little house. We spent a wonderful evening with a nice meal, good wine and conversation on the mountain. There ahead of us ...
