Chile - September 2005The September 2005 trip to Chile -- Snowboarding, and a brief tour of SantiagoIntroduction IntroductionI desperately needed a vacation! For one thing, I hadn't had much time off since mid-2003 (see the Senegal/Paris vacation notes). But mainly, in mid-July I was suddenly siezed by a powerful urge to snowboard. The 2004-2005 ski season was brutal in Washington--we didn't get any snow. I had had a *single* day of snowboarding the entire year. I wanted to make up for that a little. So I booked a room at Valle Nevado in Chile, and flew out for just over a week in late September. This wasn't like my usual International vacations: I didn't spend much time looking around. I snowboarded most of the time. But I did get around a day to look at Santiago at the end of the trip. Anyway, you can start with the snowboarding pictures here: Valle Nevado - September 2005 |
