October 2011-King's Peak

We started when it was dark on Friday and hiked 8 miles in then camped. We woke up early and went the rest of the way to the top.

Never have I felt more accomplished on a hike


We hiked back to the car on Saturday. I was dead tired by the time we finally made it. I'm not going to lie, I took a 30 minute nap on the trail 3 miles from the car. Saturday we hiked a total of 20 miles give or take.

Chile

End of August i went to Chile with my friend Shane. We had a layover in Dallas so I got to see some of my family. It was very nice. Bonus, I got Rosa's. My mom is the best. It was quite a fun and relaxing trip. Great travel buddy, great location, stayed with an amazing family. We flew into Santiago and stayed 3 days. We didn't do much the first 2 days because of a protest for free schooling. We spent most of our time in Valparaiso and Vina del Mar. Beautiful area. I would go back for sure. We mostly wondered and hung out at the beach. And ate tasty food. We went to some sand dunes the last day. Over all it was most wonderful. Worst part was the donut in the Santiago airport.

"Black Music" is a genre now.
