So, after swimming yesterday, I decided to take it easy today, and learn something new. We picked up Dan and Emily, and headed up to the upper Liucura, which is a really chill run that's mostly flatwater, with one 1km class III rapid. But we only had one truck, so instead of paddling, I drove shuttle. Welcome to a crash course in driving stick. On hilly dirt roads. But what better vehicle to learn than a rented 1991 Toyota Hilux! :-) After dropping them off, I drove to the takeout, laid in the bed of the pickup truck with a book, and alternately read and watched birds flying over my head. Then we went out to Coilaco again, for Emily and Dan's first time, but being warm and dry, I just took pics and video (crash course in shooting with two cameras at once). Tomorrow I think we're looking at the Upper Trancura, maybe Coilaco again, and maybe the Ojos de Caburgua or the first two of Tres Saltos. We'll see.
Heading back to the hostel for dinner, and then going to a barbeque at Emily's house... no going hungry on this trip!
Until next time,
B
