Pichilemu







Punta de Lobos

George, Claire and Jackson!
BIG waves

Last weekend I went to Pichilemu which is a surf town with a bohemian feel. It was about a 3 hour bus ride from Santiago, but it took us almost 6 to get there because we were on a local bus that made countless stops along the way. I stayed at a family-run hostel with the friends I went with and met a few really cool people there as well!
On friday we went out to Punta Lobos where the waves are bigger for the more hardcore surfers and then went back to la Puntilla to surf ourselves. I rented a wet suit and board for about $12 and tried to get some waves... tried being the main word here- there were a few times I almost did it, once really close... but it was fun just to be out in the water.
Other then that we just ate, drank, and chilled with friends- good conversations with good people-what more could I ask for? :)
