St. Patrick's Day en El Bosque
We ushered in St. Patrick’s Day with the arrival of our first international guest, dear and near-sister Erin, who taught us all the importance of drink and merriment to wash away water and septic woes. With a toast to the Leprechauns and a shout of joy, water began flowing through our cabin pipes from our newly filling water tower, all made possible by the hard work of Chayito, Marcelo and Jorge, and the generosity of our neighbors Yvette and her son Jean Paul, who last month gave us permission to tap into the excess water pumped through their system until we can begin pumping from our own sacred stream (a project best reserved for Spring weather and hopefully the expertise that time will offer us by then).
Also, the night before we celebrated in Valdivia to the music of Los Jaivas and the dance of the Kari Kari group of Rapa Nui as Valdivia officially became the capital city of the new 14th Region of Chile: el Region de los Ríos. Que lindo Valdivia!
