The Wonder of the Tourist Information Office (a.k.a., our friend Max)

So this is the second time we´ve taken advantage of the tourist information office.  We had great experiences with these guys in iceland helping us to plan our adventures up there... and we had an equally great experience with our new friend Max in the Santiago tourist information office.  Do we even have these kinds of places in the US?  We walked in, spent an hour with Max, and had most of our entire trip planned.  He told us he would have pushed us out the door sooner... but we told him it was our honeymoon, and that did the trick.  He was so genuinely happy, he said, to be helping us to plan our honeymoon... it was touching.

So, here´s the plan:  We´re heading south tonight on an overnight bus.  Our first stop is in Pucon, an adventure town that serves as something of a gateway to Patagonia.  For the rest of the itinerary, you´ll have to stay tuned. Abrazos. . .
