so my trip to chiloe has come to a close, and i have a lot of shells, woolen hats, and photos to show for it! for a visual account of my ten days in the south, check out the new photo gallery in scylla's cave. highlights of the trip include: hiking along chiloe's windblown western coast, studying the archipelago's curious shingled architecture, devouring the exquisite shellfish of the region, exploring the islands' countless inlets and harbors, and sharing the company of all the friendly, generous people i met along the way.
