We have finally made it to Chiloé and we are all glad to be here. We are staying at a wonderful farm owned by the Maldonado family. They have a great set-up and we are all very comfortable. Doña Luisa and Don Hardy are so amazing, and have some of the best laughs I have ever heard. Our schedule for the next eight days with the Maldonado family is lo mismo cada día - the same every day - breakfast (which is almost always bread or sopaipilla, peach jam or honey, coffee or tea) at 9:00, class in the woods at 10:00, a couple of hours of service, a big lunch around 3:00 with everyone, then a small siesta, sight seeing and going around the town in the afternoon and evening. It´s pretty much heaven on earth. It is so beautiful here on Chiloé and it just keeps getting better. This afternoon we went to the Mythological Park where they have recreated a lot of the mythological creatures of Chiloé, of which there are zillions. It was very cool. I took tons of pictures.
Oh, and another adventure involved witnessing the butchering of a cow from the farm ... I only saw it once it was skinless, headless, and hanging from its feet. It was pretty gross, but I know it´s good meat. I just can´t help it ... the baby cows are too cute for words and it´s hard to see their parents being butchered.
Until next time,
¡Ciao!
