Best of Chile 2014 Eli E.

   Hey, guys Eli E. here. Yesterday I was in Chile and I went to Robinson Crusoe Island. The story of how an explorer was stranded there inspired the book Robinson Crusoe. I saw a shark  when I was scuba diving! My tour guide told me we were stranded there as a joke! Finally I played with some of the many seals that inhabit the island.

        Later I decided to go to Easter Island look at all of those big statues. But as I learned Easter island is more than just Ancient sculptures. It also has beautiful palm trees and amazing caves! My friend has been there in summer and said it was amazing.

 

 

        My final destination was sand boarding in the northern area of the country. I didn't know what it was at first but when I saw it I immediately understood. Sand boarding is a lot like skiing or snowboarding but on sand instead of snow. I saw a very skilled native that was doing amazing tricks eventually I asked him how long he had been doing this and he said he has been doing this for ten years. I probably couldn't do this in a million years.
