Ryan´s update

Constitucion had great surf and beautiful hiking.
Our camping spot near Constitucion was in a small, low-key campground right by the ocean.

Giant rock formations near Constitucion.


Fishing boats on the beach in a town called Duao.


We bought fish called Reineta at this fish market. It was yummy!

What is up everyone, Ryan here. Chile is an amazing place, so many things to tell. Life on the road is great we have found really cool spots to camp, cooked somthing from the sea everynight for dinner and it seems like there is a left point break aroud every corner. I have had some really good surf, and met some really cool chilean surfers. The country side is amazing, think southern Oregon coast. There will be a saw mill then a cool little town, 20 miles of beautiful coast and another town, with potential surf spots everywhere. The wind has blown out of the south everyday plenty to kite and there are miles of beach for that, truely an amazing place. The sea food is incredible mussles, clams, oysters, shrimp, salmon, sea bass, and as much as you can eat. El furgon is the bomb great little diesle van, the locales see very few gringos especially ones living out of a furgon. The folks around here are amazing super friendly and beautiful. We have been talking tons of spanish every opprotunity we get, it feels so good to be finally getting my arms around it.. Well life is good... Here is an invatation, we have el furgon, the gas is paid for tell us when you fly in and we will pick you up.... Thanks to all of the people that have made this trip amazing Harry, Tyler, Caleb, Kimmy, Randy, Jim, Alenka,Mom, Dad, Lindsay, Beto,Alex,Carrie, Mike, Angie, Francesco, Lori, Dave, Norm, Barbara, Antenello, Peter, Crystal.

  1. Ryan and Jess, Great report Ry and it sounds better than good. I wanted to tell you that Mom and I arrive in the morning and can only stay 2 months. We will hunt you down as I know that after you read this, you will go undercover. Love you both, keep the cards and letter coming. Hugs, DAD

  2. Hey Kids! Just read through to catch up. Sounds like things are going very well! So stoked for you both. Jess, you gotta find a card reader- they sell them almost everywhere because the CF card is super common. Also fairly cheep. That will let you load the photos from any computer. Lots of love! -Tyler
