And just like that, it’s the last day of summer!
The only sign that Autumn is here is the slow turn of the leaves from green to orange. But, the bright blue skies, shorts weather and hot temperatures, wouldn’t allow you to think that summer was over, just yet.
And what a wonderful summer it was. Filled with adventure:
My first year at my new school completed
Two months of summer holidays from work
A third Christmas spent here in Chile
Our first wedding anniversary celebrated with Indian food
18 days with family and friends in London
Lots of books read during my summer holidays
15 days exploring middle Patagonia (including my very favourite 4 days trekking and camping in Cerro Castillo)
Barely surviving the days of summer in Santiago (36/38 degree days were a lot!)
A day exploring Valparaíso and it’s incredible street art
A brand new school year began with a new class and a new year group
So, Autumn, I am ready for you. What’s coming in April, May and June:
Lots of photos of Autumn leaves
A 3-day Easter weekend in Conguillo National Park
The completion of my first half-semester of the school year
Chile is completing it’s census and I’ll be part of it.
5 nights in Northern Patagonia (I can’t wait to visit Puerto Montt, Chiloe and Puerto Varas for the first time)
How was your winter/summer? What’s coming for you in spring/autumn?
Happy Happiness Day!

That last photo is giving me all the heart eyes! Hope you have had a great first half semester and you have a great class :).
Thank you! 🙂 Only two and a half weeks in with my new class, so everything is still very new.
The fall leaves picture is gorgeous!! I can’t wait to see more pictures of fall! What are you going to be doing with the census?!?!
Thank you! That’s one is from last year, and soon, they’ll all be orange again.
I’m not directly doing anything, it’s just that I’ll be counted in it 🙂 We all get a day off while we wait at home for them to come and question us.
Things have been a bit crazy and I FINALLY settled down to catch up on my favorite blogs. I feel like I missed a lifetime of your posts. Can’t wait to read all your adventures, what a wonderful season you’ve had Marcella. And having two months off definitely sounds like a wonderful perk of being a teacher! xx, nano
Thanks Nano! Hope you are enjoying the posts. It’s always nice to get to re-live the memories 🙂
The photos from the trek are amazing. I loved the views but also the glacier!
Thanks Anna! So glad you enjoyed the photos, it was fun to share them!
SO great! What an awesome summer and what great plans for autumn. I love all the colours you find too 🙂
Thanks Jessi! Colour makes the world go round, didn’t it? 😉
That sounds like a fabulous summer! I know you’re back at work, but still, sounds fantastic 🙂
It feels like a lifetime ago now, ha! It was an incredible summer… not too long until the next one 😉 …. 7 months!
