Report from Chile for Friday, January 30th 2009
Hola, it was cold today and windy with temps in the mid 60’s
The play house has the rope ladder and climbing rope attached - little trouble find a slide even close to what we need. Jefe has been busy sweating copper to hook up a in line water heater for the teaching kitchen, Dan has been building a backdoor set of steps with the kittens help, Felipe finished up the ceiling for the green modulo and started the ceiling for the one we are in. A little tree pruning was done and lots of time spent playing with the chicas.
At one pm we threw an American picnic for the tias and staff - grilled hamburgers with fresh tomatoes, onions, lettuce, cheese and the regular condiments. Then we had potato chips, deviled eggs and pop. For desert we had blackberry cream ice cream, and a couple of other flavors too - the blackberry went very fast.
We did some more work and then the chicas and staff threw a party for us. Us guys all had to dance the Quaka again! Then they had native food from down south here for use - a flat bean that looks like a giant Lima bean, pine nuts in the natural form, peach and barley drink, a flat bread made from barley, a cilantro dish and many other unique dishes.
We finished out the day by walking down to Easy and picking up some more copper pipe and grocery run to Santa Isabel - a grocery store.
Chou,
Felipe
