The creek/road heading up to our house

Things are starting to dry up around here. The rain isn’t as prevalent as it has been. The part of the road that leads up to our house is usually a small creek, but now with the drier weather it is a small brook.

Over the next week or so it’s supposed to be really nice and sunny just in time for our Christmas trip. Yeah, we’ve finally rescheduled our Christmas trip and it starts this Friday! We are heading to Cochamó. It is supposed to be simply gorgeous and magical. Bradley and Brandie (aka The Bumble Bees), the WWOOFers who have been at the farm just a few days longer than we have, went to Cochamó a couple of weeks ago and loved it.

We’re going with the outfitters called Campo Aventura. Weather permitting we’ll be going on a boat ride to a sea lion colony and then to a natural hot springs. We’ll also be heading up to La Junta which is a high valley about 8-10km from town. That is where a lot of the beautiful pictures in the above links were taken. All four of us will be going on horses through a temperate rain forests up to this valley. We’ll be staying up there for 3 days and 3 nights to hike, explore, and relax around the valley. To say we are excited about our upcoming mini-adventure would be an understatement.

This is all to say that we will be out of contact from the 22nd until the 29th, so the family and friends who naturally worry about us and our foolish follies won’t think we’ve dropped off the edge of Patagonia. When we get back we’ll have SD cards full of pictures and hopefully more really interesting stories to tell.

I’ll leave you some pictures from the sunset that I was looking forward to see in this post. All of these were taken from the front yard of the Hill House. We’ll be back on line on the 29th until then… Chao.
