in Chile : VALDIVIA

To continue with our visit in Chile I would like to take you further south from Temuco, where my parents live and where I grew up.  To Valdivia.

Valdivia is a small city, very similar to where we live now. A river runs through the middle, it rains lots, there’s green everywhere you look, and very close to the ocean.  Well, truth be told… anywhere in Chile you are ‘very close’ to the ocean

Valdivia is where two uncles, two aunts, and four cousins live at the moment.  Lots of playing and lots of catching up.

El Torreón de Los Canelos de Valdivia. One of the two Torreones that protected the entrance to the city in the time The Spanish were here, dated from 1774.

Some playing.

Some more playing.

A craft fair.

Canned pairs and plums.

Bracelets and headbands.

So much fun in so little time.
