I am so far out in the country at my husband's cousin's house. The closest town is Panguipulli or Los Lagos. They own hundreds of acres and have a dairy. We've ridden horses out on the pampa (cleared mountain meadows) out to the waterfalls and around the cattle. We saw how they milk the cows and looked inside the enormous vat of fresh milk. Because of the country guard dogs, I ran around a field 6 tomes. I ran about 40 minutes, but I didn't have more time. We're riding to to the falls of Huillo Huillo to have an evening picnic Gaucho style. They keep me up so late, stuff me full every second, and I can not keep a decent schedule. But my kids are riding horses with their cousins, and I am in heaven outside. Fresh air. Fresh country cheeses, honey, homemade bread. It is so beautiful here I can hadley take it in. The running however is....well, I'm doing what I can. It's been fun, and I'm way outside of my comfort zone, traveling deep muddy roads in 4x4, a real adventure. |
