Chile, Fray Jorge

This place was high on Sara's list as many scientific studies have been done of the fog/vegetation there. Cool.

 Snoopy the german shepard
 wheat maybe? crazy green
 fog collector
 the forest is under the cloud

 picnic area
 zorro chillo or culpeo

 My pics of here stink. I shot some good timelapse movies though, i'll post them at some point
 cowboys (huasos) and horses

 a real sign, steep road
 stuck behind a funeral procession
 cactus fence
 colorful houses

 kinda like Table Mountain near Capetown
 maybe our dream truck
 tunnel on the panam towards Olmue

Chile, Olmue

Sara and Erin went to the Medecos meeting, I killed time at our airbnb in Olmue. Nice garden. I was planning to rent a bike and cruise around but too many dogs.




 orange trees and lots of flowers



 it was in the boonies of Olmue

Chile, La Campana

day 4 of the meeting was a field trip to Parque Nacional La Campana. There was an entrance to it right by Olmue but we went around to the north entrance to see the native palm trees. Nice park.










 this is the La Campana mountain, Darwin climbed it back in the day
 this reminds me of the horses in the movie Hot to Trot
 nice little town near the park
 pretty good empanadas. we also bought some farm cheese
 horses on the side of the road were pretty common



 La Campana from the Olmue side
lots of produce markets near Olmue
