Alex and I made a run to the Supermercado where they had a pretty good selection of food, but no fresh veggies or fruit. Then we went to the Frutería. It was small, but they had a good variety of fruits and veggies. Alex was planning to make a soup for dinner. We got carrots, mushrooms, zucchini, tomatoes, onion, and potatoes. The only thing we still needed was some crema. For that, we went to the Panadería. A successful shopping trip around La Junta!
Across from our cabaña is a tree with little yellow Pom Pom blossoms.
Anyone know what these are?
I think they look a lot like the Pom poms on my Chuckabuckets!
Later we decided to go for café y Chocolate caliente. The place closest to us was closed. Instead we went back to where we had gone yesterday. The chocolate caliente was not quite as good as the one I had yesterday, but it was still good.
No cookie this time (even though I could see them in the jar on top of the fridge).
On the way back, we made a detour to the Copec (gas station). It’s the only place in town with an ATM. I didn’t need cash, but Alex and Markus did. At the station, they also had fuel canisters and even dehydrated meals. They were a brand out of New Zealand. They only had a few flavors, and they are, basically, the same price as Mountain House meals. I didn’t get any, but maybe if I see them again, I’ll consider trying one.
While Alex was cooking dinner, Markus and I (okay, mostly Markus) figured out our plan for the next section from here to Coyhaique. We’ll have a short distance to Puyuhuapi where we want to go to the Hanging Glacier in Quelat National Park. Then we are planning 4 days to Coyhaique. That is the biggest town next to Puerto Montt.
Supposedly, good weather is coming. I certainly hope so! In the meantime, it nice to have a wood stove to heat our humble abode.
Goodnight from Chile!
