Catherine left Portland today for Chile. As you can imagine, packing for a whole year presented some challenges, but we eventually fit everything into suitcases and got her on the plane. Whew! The past couple of weeks has been hectic and full of anticipation. Now the trip really begins.Dan will be heading down to Chile three weeks from now after cleaning up the house for the incoming renters and hanging around to meet Rodrigo, Catherine's exchange teacher, when he arrives from Chile in early August.
