Even in summer, it is nice sleeping weather in the south of
Chile. The nights cool down and by
morning, there might even be a bit of a chill in the air! There was this morning and even though the
sun is shining brightly, I have to change from my initial shorts and t-shirt
combination to jeans and finally the addition of a light jumper.
After a leisurely breakfast, we headed off to the
supermarket for gringo supplies. We went
to Lider – Andrea’s supermarket – and spent a good while wandering down memory
lane, so to speak.
After lunch, the two of us headed into central Temuco by
micro (small bus) to wander around. We
had a package to send to Senora Ester, our housekeeper from Copiapo, and some
cards to send via Correos, Chile’s world class postal system (tears in my eyes,
rolling on floor laughing) – we were fourth in line and had to wait at least 10
minutes in order to buy 2 stamps…
A quick wander around the rest of the central area,
including picking up some Christmas presents, and it was time to brave the collectivo
back home. Squeezed in like sardines,
fighting our way through the merciless peak hour traffic, we finally arrived.
Dinner and conversation followed, before going to bed
relatively early, around 11pm!
