| Lago Ranco -- a small town next to a large lake! |
Last Monday, the missionaries and Keith and I went to Lago Ranco (on the bus) to go on a paseo. Only one missionary (besides us and the Lago Ranco missionaries) had been there and she did not climb the mountain behind the town. We celebrated Elder Petrovelli's and Keith's birthday on the mountain. Below is Keith's journal entry about the trip.
"Lago Ranco is a large lake to the east of La Union and Rio Bueno and the head waters of the Rio Bueno river. We have two missionaries in the small town that overlooks the lake. The featured activity was a hike up the mountain that overlooks the town and the lake.
The last time we took this trip we had a car; this time we didn't. What a difference it made. The 3+ miles up the mountain was very arduous with 30-45 degree climbs. The trip down was difficult for different reasons. By the time we were finished we were starting to weave back and forth! We won't be making this climb again!
The missionaries were a spirited group and climbed much faster than we did. Those who lagged behind with us provided conversation and we got to know them better, Some of the missionaries had just turned 19. It was Keith's birthday today. He is 71 and feels pretty good for a man his age if you take our hike into account.
The ride back was interesting. With 16 missionaries on board, the bus was loaded to the gills with people standing in the aisle and up by the driver."
