yay!!!! for civilization!!! we got up in time to have breakfast at the hostel and then catch the 10am bus back to Punta Arenas. Funny story: the attendant on the bus could talk, so he like mimed to us. . .and he brought us candy and checked on us every 15 minutes. Colleens was sleeping for a lot of it, but I was journaling the whole time so he would point to Colleens and shake his head like "dude, she is wasting time" and then point to me and give me a thumbs up. he was a little weird.
we then found our hostel, which was super cute and our room was huge. it was a house with a big kitchen that we got to use too. we then walked around the city and found our tour agency and made plans. on our way back to the hostel we stopped at La Chocolatta, which is a little coffee shop. We enjoyed our coffee and treats - Colleens got brownies and i got cookies. the brownies passed the test, but my galletas FAILED!!!!!! how miserable. I figured out that the problem is here the don't have brown sugar, so everything ends up dry and flavorless. i am ready for some postre estadounidense. But we easily passed about 2 hours soaking up the familiar coffee shop atmosphere.
we also stopped and paid to use the internet to assure our parents that we were still alive :)
we then met up with my teatro friends, Jess and Kelly, bought our tours, and then went back to the hostel and made a huge salad and spaghetti for dinner. um um good.
Here is my very first picture that i took in Punta Arenas because Colleens was convinced that this was the satellite that communicated with Antartica.
