Movement
As our time at NOLS was coming to a close, we made the decision to head back into Argentina for the last week and a half of our trip. We didn’t get to spend as much time on and around the Carretera Austral as we’d have liked to, but with an impending plane flight we […]
Two Weeks Later…
I wrote a post about our Ancud experience, but wordpress wasn’t working and then we lost the internet for two lovely weeks! So here you are, penguins and rodeos, a few weeks later 🙂 Chiloé is turning out to be just as magical as we heard. Life is different here- people move at their own […]
Vino, la cena, y adiós
No mas malezas! Today we depart for Chiloé, and we’re both pretty excited. Our world has been only 5 hectares large (aside from Pichilemu and trips to the market) for the past two weeks, so I feel the wanderlust kicking in. For our last dinner here, Dan made us tuna patties! They’re so good. We’ve […]
Catch-Up
It’s worth mentioning we had a way cool sunset here at the farm a few nights ago, as well! This week has been a little bit of a blur between market-going, pulling weeds, watering, and acquiring some sort of stomach bug that left me useless and mostly resting on Thursday. I felt pretty bad leaving […]
Hace Calor
See that featured photo? I wish it was that time of day. While Indiana is playing in the snow, we are hiding from the sun. It’s been consistently about 98-103 F today, which, in long sleeves and pants does not sound like a brilliant idea. We’ve been practicing Spanish and reading, and will see what […]
Weeds and Sun
We’ve landed at a pretty neat vineyard project for a few weeks near Santa Cruz, Chile (Valle de Colchagua). If you Google this town, you’ll find wine, wine tourism, and more wine. It’s as good as you’d think it would be! Above is the house we’re staying in. And below, the main house. The work […]
Santiago, Chile
The plan was simple; fly south and share with you our greatest adventures. The first step was a success. We have arrived in this beautiful country. The second will have to wait until morning. I believe we are operating on hour 30 something of limited sleep. So I will leave you all with an image […]
Airports and Introductions
We’re here- in the Dallas airport- about to board a plane for three months in Chile. Tomorrow morning, I’ll wake up in a place I’ve only dreamed of. It’ll be 2014. It still hasn’t hit me yet. We don’t speak much Spanish, but I’m not worried (that’s what the linguistics major was for, right?). I […]
