Welp, it's been a while since i've updated the blog. Because so much has happened since my last post and because i am not feeling particularly reflective or garrulous today, i am going to give a shotgun run-down of the recent happenings and going-ons in my life down here in beautiful Punta Arenas. Enjoy!
- i have been super busy working! the race route is nearly finalized and the maps are coming along smoothly. hopefully we will do some field work in the near future to ground truth some areas of land the route passes through.
- explored the Reserva Forestal Magellanes (nature preserve) and hitched a ride home with a family of friendly Chilenos
- walked past the southern-most Coca Cola plant in the world!
- visited the Cerveza Austral brewery only to discover they DO NOT serve samples!
- climbed Mounte Tarn - a mountain Darwin once summited
- got lost in a forest while climbing Mounte Tarn
- subsequently found my way out of the forest while climbing Mounte Tarn
- visited a swanky water factory South of Punta Arenas
- saw penguins at Seno Otawy!
- went ice skating at the mall
- had a margarita at the sky bar in the casino
Clearly, i've been staying pretty busy.
You have been busy, Ben! The pictures are great..love the penguins!

Great post, Ben. So glad you're able to get out and about. Very scary that you got lost in the forest - so glad you found your way out. How much does a bottle of that swanky water cost? Keep the adventures coming! Love you, Aunt Lucy
