People,
I don´t have anything to say this week. I talked to some crazy people. Walked around. Um, so in Bariloche there is ash. There is a volcano in Chile called Volcano Puyehue. It has been spewing out volcanic ash for months now. The wind often blows the ash over Bariloche. The whole area gets grey and the ash irritates the eyes. There was also this same ash in Villa Regina that blew way over there, there is just a lot more of it here, us being a whole lot closer. You can see the volcano from the city. Consequently there are not so many tourists which sustain the economy of the city. This mean no one is doing very well economically. It´s cool though because I´ve talked to people from Israel, Wyoming, France, etc. instead of just Argentines.
It´s very dry here, like Utah. There are some pine trees on the hills (or mountains) surrounding the city. Enjoy Christmas,
-Elder Reed
