Unfortunately we don’t as my Spanish 15+ years ago in high school and college doesn’t seem to have stuck. Since we don’t speak the language we also figured it would be a good idea to arrive in Chile (as we did on Tuesday) without a guidebook or a map. Makes sense when you think about it. We do at least have a Spanish/English dictionary, which has gotten good use already.
All is good though and after a small adventure finding our guesthouse in Santa Cruz the first evening (we won’t soon forget roble means oak in Spanish - don't try looking for Oak Street in a town that doesn't speak Ingles) we have settled in with the help of Karla, our super friendly host at the guesthouse, and a lot of tasty food and wine. We have some more wine tasting planned before a few days of nature and hiking and some city time (Valparaiso and Santiago) at the end of our stay.
If the people the rest of the way are half as friendly as we’ve found our first few days we’ll be fine, even with our limited Spanglish.

Hey Monica! We're starting to improve a little bit... you're right, tho, hard to believe we're already in South Am!
