Journal Notes
- running between the mountains is always a bit nerve wracking
- hypoxia is a bit nerve wracking too
- the approach into Santiago was absolutely beautiful... huge city in a very cool valley
- Refuel and top up oil on arrival.  AME says "beautiful shape",
- In RW, Marg and I had super news yesterday... a conditional offer on the house, and the counter offer was accepted!  Now to see the conditions all satisfied by April 22nd.  And a super day-trip to Charlottetown today.  When we got home it was +10 and breezy... the snow banks are taking a beating!!
