From Villarrica, we headed about 100 miles further south to Valdivia. Valdivia is located about 10 miles from the Pacific Ocean, but, most importantly, is where 14 rivers converge. We stayed at a gorgeous hotel along the river for two nights. We visited Valdivia's famous fish market, the dads sampled the local beer, and we visited a nearby town on the Pacific Ocean called Niebla.
After two nights in Valdivia, we headed back to Temuco in order to fly back north to Santiago. We had a great get-away with the Dad's. Now back to reality in Santiago!

Photo 2: I think this picture sums up our time in Valdivia perfectly. Somehow the waiter knew that the other three of us spoke Spanish. Dad got the special "English" menu. There were SO many typo-o's that it probably would have been easier for him to understand in Spanish.

Photo 5: Our final meal in the Lake District. We were the only people at a restaurant overlooking our (least) favorite city in all of Chile.
