Southern Hemisphere: Am I upside-down?

A Three Hour Tour

Yesterday, we went on a boat tour of the rivers Valdivia and Calle Calle. Living in the Lakes District, it was great to orient ourselves with some of the water habitat surrounding us. I dragged my hand in the water until it went numb, relaxed and simply enjoyed the nature that I would never see again.

Curse broken. I win.

Fabio, is that you?

We recently rode the bus to Castro, Chiloe. It is a short 9 hr bus ride. Fortunately for us, we were amid a celebrity. We didn't know that Fabio spoke Russian or traveled with a group of other Russian ice skaters. He didn't know that we took photos of him.
After arriving in Castro, we saw these signs and things made a lot more sense.

Cursed Computer
