This month has been a little quite (as in I have not been
on many outings) but I have been super busy sorting lot of things out.
I visited Mejillones which is the closest town to
Antofagasta; it is a 45 minute drive away. Joaquin’s Auntie lives there so we
went to visit her and see the town. His Auntie has a huge craft room in her
house where she makes many different things. I was in heaven looking at all the
crafts she has made and all the equipment/materials she has in there! There is
not much happening in the town as it is very small but Joaquin and I took a
walk down to the pier.
I went on a trip with the school to the local farm. They
had so many different animals, my favourtie was the pig which kept following us
around everywhere.
I also have visited an outside art exhibition. It was not
really my thing and it was a little weird but I suppose that is art for you.
Just along from the art exhibition is where the
sealions rest…they really do smell though!
Well we only have a motorbike to get around so when we
go shopping it is sometimes a task to carry the shopping back and pack it all
in the backpack! This time the leeks didn’t fit…
Also been back to the market.
I am going along with the scouts to the Jamboree in
January, which is super exciting and we have to raise some money for the trip.
One week this month they were making and selling Sopaipillas, this is a typical
Chilean dish (I can’t really explain what it is as we don’t eat anything like
it in the UK). They either have it fried or with a sweet sugary sauce; they are
delicious though.
