Morning in Puerto Varas — We awaken at our quaint bed and breakfast to the sight of flowers, and the lilting sound of ... German. It was being spoken across the street at the German School. |
 |
Puerto Varas — The town of Puerto Varas, viewed from atop the hill where our bed and breakfast resided. Under the early-morning gray skies, a large red balloon flies tethered by the shore, an artifact of some kind of event involving a giant stopwatch counting up. |
 |
Lake Llanquihue — A small two-master floats off a pier in the harbor of Puerto Varas. Volcan Calbuco looms in the background. |
 |
Pastures of Plenty — Cows roam among the thousands of acres (or hectares, whichever is greater). |
 |
Frutillar — A small tree forms its own island off the shore of the town of Frutillar. |
 |
Frutillar Flowerboxes — A small house by the waterfront is adorned with colorful flowerboxes. |
 |
German Influence — The style of architecture — not to mention food and art — has a very definite German influence here. The entire region is extremely European, evidenced by the fact that every town, including this one, has a Lutheran Church. |
