The Dunes

So, instead of the Fonda, we went to the dunes today. They are AMAZING. These dunes put the Oregon dunes to shame I must say. I got some great pictures, so check them out.

Sure the idea of celebrating Chile's Independence with empanadas and chicha was a good one... but standing atop the largest mountain of sand I've ever known and seeing the blue blue Pacific stretching wide forever on one side and perfectly cozy little Chilean houses nestled into green hills with a frame of giant mountains behind them was a damn good celebration of what it is to be free.

And, don't worry... we've got back-to-back Independence Day barbeques tomorrow and Saturday. So, I'll follow up the weekend's festivities with a (much requested) blog about FOOD.
