chile:day.off.

today started off with a rainy morning full of chores. here we are looking super cute in the woods behind the cabin, sporting our rain gear.

events of the morning:

·       we woke up and decided there must be something up with our hot water so we talked to tracy and it turned out we just needed to switch the propane tanks! warm showers for everyone!

·      i accidentally left the bag of dog food on the floor after i refilled the buckets and the dogs had a feast and spent the rest of the day looking very guilty.

·       i chopped wood while truckee double-dug the greenhouse. my office for a couple of hours

but then we caught a ride into town with lance and spend the afternoon hanging out there! we made some pit-stops along the way to drop off trash and recycling and feed some stray dogs by the grocery store. truckee and i decided to do a café tour so we could use wifi and catch up on some business and emails and such, so we started off in école with soup and bread buffet for very cheap. our tummies were happy. we saw andy and talked to him for a bit and we all decided we wanted to try and go skiing in argentina, so hopefully that works out! after we got kicked out of école for overstaying our welcome we wandered the main drag of pucón. so cute.

we picked up some dogs along the way who patiently waited outside every time we went into a store or café and then picked right back up following us when we came back out. they could tell we were suckers for their puppy dog eyes.

then we saw this huge great dane, and kept on seeing it just wandering around town the rest of the day. it was everywhere we looked!

we got to the end of the main street and it ended in a beautiful view of lake villarrica! we wandered out onto the dock with our gang of dogs in tow.

our second café stop resulted in fancy coffee drinks and chocolate, we figured we could afford to be a bit indulgent after roughing it in our cabin and doing tough girl chores for the past few days. we were sitting in the window and andy walked by and saw us so we came in and we hung out there for a while. he talked his way into a free cookie from the girl working the bakery by saying he spent all his money on beer, but truckee and i couldn’t quite charm her and we had to pay for our goodies. no fair.

we wandered back to the store to meet lance, did some last minute chores at home and then resorted to hugging the electric tea kettle for warmth because we couldn’t get the fire to start.

it was definitely a nice (half) day off though!
