I had to remind my self that I was actually in South America. For all I knew, I could have been near the Black Forest, the flag’s black, red, and gold colors flying high against a backdrop of wooden, Alpine houses. Frutillar is one German-influenced town in Southern Chile.
It’s mid-winter break, so most of us teachers have some time off to travel. Frutillar-bound we were. It’s only a 2 hour bus ride south of Valdivia, right on Lake Llanquihue. Everyone raves about this town with its lakeside theater, that attracts everything from ballet performances to jazz concerts. It’s definitely one of my favorite towns in Chile so far.
We could almost see the entire volcano! The most sun we’ve had all week.
TRIVIA TIME! How many Nestle logos can you find in the rest of my photos? Nescafe is omnipresent in Chile. Brian joked that he was almost expecting to see a Nestle mosiac floor when we walked into the theater. (Sadly, there wasn’t one.)
From the veranda.
Veranda ceiling. Amazing
Elise wanted to know where the best German cake in town was. So we went and asked the local municipality…
Asking city hall…
This is it! The best place for dessert in Frutillar, where the locals come and go.
Ridiculous cake creations in this place.
Nestle is the top
Just when this town couldn’t get any more cute, a rainbow appears…
The end.
