This morning we went to an artisan village and looked at some beautiful pieces of Chilean art work. It was a pleasant, low key ending to my trip. We had arrived back quite late last night from Easter Island so it was nice to have nothing scheduled until 10:30 am. I am now packed, have my boarding passes and hope to be back in Oregon on United flight 740 at 12:22 pm on Sat. Feb. 28. We had a farewell lunch at a very nice restaurant. These are my final pictures form Santiago.
I am very thankful for good health during this trip and safety in the air and on the roads. Our group leaders were aware of the airline strikes in Argentina that happened the day after we left. We learned that we were delayed flying to Iguazu Falls because of a hole in the runway. The flight that left before us had to turn around and go back to Rio de Janeiro and then they waited on the plane for several hours and it was very hot on that plane. It took that flight 8 hours and it is normally a 2 hr. 10 min. flight. Highlight of the trip for me was seeing Iguazu Falls. It is so massive and the water roars. Off to the airport now and I will post again when I'm back in Newberg..
