On to Chile
From Arequipa we boarded a bus (naturally, its how we roll down here) and headed to our last new country on the continent for this trip, Chile. After we experienced a wake up call by a "earthquake" shaking our building and waking us up (we were on the top floor of the highest building we could see in the area), we made our way to Iquique, Chile. Iquique is a city on the beach that apparently Chile is trying to build up as a beach resort destination, there´s even a part of town that sells duty free merchandise, including cars.
Activities for Iquique included the beach, the casino (where we tried our luck at subsidizing the cost of the trip with a little income), and we watched the Departed for $4 dollars apiece, which we thought was a great movie.
Also, this is where we spent Thanksgiving. As you all know, they don´t celebrate this holiday on this continent. Since I hadn´t seen turkey on a menu since arriving in South America, I didn´t spend much time looking. My big Thanksgiving meal this year was a chicken cesear salad, where the cesear dressing is actually just straight mayo.

Godiva for you too when you come home! Miss you and can't wait to see you!
that's disgusting. why do you always eat salads?
btw - we beat michigan!
Love the photos and all the commentary. Seems like Dave is doing all the work, but Mark looks like he is having fun. Both of you look well fed so guess beans and rice are a sufficient diet. We are looking forward to your return to Raleigh. Lori is getting herself ready for the next three months in Australia. Just want a sailboat ride sometime when you return, now that you are pros.
