Friday morning Mark, Mason, Dallin, Drew, and I were picked up by a van and taken to our river rafting companies base to start a spectaular day of river rafting on Rio de Petrohue. It was the boys first time and they loved it! And the vistas and the river and the fun, we all thought this was awesome!
 |
| This is us getting ready to go. The guide is making sure we are securely in our positions. See Drew, he stayed up in the front the whole time and got the best views and the best splashes. |

Then the other guide in the back has the camera on his helmet. |
 |
| We stopped about half way through and all jumped off the cliff to the left here (Dallin flipped off it). |
 |
| At the end we all jumped in for a 15 second experience of the rapids (AKA water up the nose and disorientation). Then we just floated along for awhile. Drew and Dallin got back in after the rapids because they had more then enough experience. But look at the river and the things we got to see while rafting. Chile is beautiful! |
After river rafting we headed back to the cabana and the rest of our crew, who hung out at the pool and cabanas. Then we took a short drive to the town of Frutillar, another town along the Lago Llanquihue. It is a cute little beach town with a heavy German influence and they are famous for their kutchen (or pie/strudel combination dessert).

| After Frutillar we had a nice dinner on the Lake in Puerto Varas to celebrate Grandpa's birthday. |
 |
| Grandpa's birthday kutchen and cheesecake. Which we were all too full to eat, so Grandpa blew out his "candle" (it was a match), and we saved it for the next day. |
