My brother, Dale, and his wife, Suzanne, came to visit this past week. He served his mission in Chile and has wanted to visit the Concepcion temple for some time. We are glad that they came when we were here so we could enjoy their company.  Here is a quick run down on some of the things we did.

We stopped by the Laja Falls on the way home from picking them up at the airport. They are beautiful but there was less water than last year.

We went to Conguillio National Park where we experienced the beauty of nature up close, including waterfalls.

We visited the Villa Rica area with its amazing lake and volcano. (If you look real close you can see steam or smoke coming out of the volcano.)

We went on the seven lake drive and experienced more beautiful lakes.

We drove the coastal highway and stopped off at the  beach but don't yet have pictures of that.

And, of course, we went to the temple.

Chile seems to be full of natural beauty. We guessed that the tree-per-capita ratio here is 10 times what it is in the U.S.  It was a great week.
