Why spend a week in Easter Island?

I've wanted to visit Easter Island since I was a little girl.  Fascinated with the mystery, remoteness, and history.  When I read the various blogs and online tips about what to do, where to stay, it all seemed so rushed and forced. Filled with highlight tours of the main historical sights of either 3 days/2 nights or 4 days/3 nights left little time for activities, exploring the island, or immersing yourself into a way of life.  More like scratching off a to do on some planned bucket list.

Eat, Play, Do - Chile through photos

The past three weeks in Chile were incredible.  Filled with food, adventure and I've posted the photos on Flickr and in five sets. Chile offers a complete view, and the others are sections of the trip in smaller groups: Atacama, Santiago, Central Chile, and Easter Island.

San Pedro de Atacama: a foodie's dream

We finally arrived in the evening after nearly 26 hours of traveling. Our hotel, Casa Solcor, is perfect. Eight units, two full kitchens, and living spaces, and a gorgeous garden and patio.

Dinner the first night was a hit.  The salmon ceviche was to die for! And so was the live band.
