Chile day 4

VERY VERY SPECIAL DAY!

During this trip I have done many things for the first time in my life. Like sleeping in a tent for instance! And it was interesting experience.
And some other things, but I will tell you more little bit later.
I am still wearing only sneakers since we and not doing long hikes, so my feet are happy!

The whole day was so beautiful and special!
First we visited small 'farm' owned by a family of a German origin where we patted and fed lamas and emus. They even have one puma! (in a cage)
Family owns a breakfast/lunch restaurant on the farm that overlooks the lake and Osorno. They also have several lodges right on the lake that can be rented.
We were so excited to see the animals!
The tree is called 'monkey puzzle tree'. Don't ask me why or how it got that name!






Than we visited Esmerald lake- Lagos Todos Los Santos.



After that we went to the Vulcano Osorno! During the winther that is a ski center and during summer you can hike or take a ski-lift all the way to the glacier that is on the top of the vulcano!
How can that possibly co-exist: fire and ice on the same area?!




and finally I did something i have never dreamed of being capable of doing:

"The origin of the popular English name Monkey-puzzle derives from its early cultivation in Britain in about 1850, when the species was still very rare in gardens and not widely known. The proud owner of a young specimen at Pencarrow garden near Bodmin in Cornwall was showing it to a group of friends, and one made the remark "It would puzzle a monkey to climb that"; as the species had no existing popular name, first 'monkey-puzzler', then 'monkey-puzzle' stuck (Mitchell 1996)."

Wow, dont think I would fancy going down that line:eyes:

Maya 24. April 2007, 02:33

Oh, that is such a great little story! Thanks!
:smile:
And the canopy! well, took me a long time and a lot of encurangement from my friends to do it! But after the first one i did 3 more 'lines', and it is awesome! Not as scary as it appears.

Wonderful photos of the icy volcano, Maya. I love that one with the mirror.

Respect, respect, for your courage! :eyes:
But you may be right: after the first time it will be a lot of fun. :happy:

ALLY G. 24. April 2007, 06:19

Louis 24. April 2007, 16:16

Maya 25. April 2007, 05:57

We we told it is the exact replica of the Church from Blackforest!

No, I don't have larger photos, will upload those in my next life when I am not spending 13h at work every day and working from home in addition! :frown:

Hi Maya,

Hi Maya¡¡¡¡


Long time no see you :frown:¡¡
But, what I can say to you?
Well, could be that in the past 3 months I had a lot troubles and very hard situations.
My life change a lot, and exactly in this moment, I dont know what would to be of my life.
But like many things in the life, I know that this will begin with the will and determination of to change a lot your life.
If first I do that, then I can to do my next travel to the Torreón city for to do my offices in this place.
In fact I dont like many Torreon, but I have 3 or 5 reasons for to go to Torreón.
Two of them are waiting for me...
The rest of them is too expecting for me...
But well, I dont know but I feel some strange in the atmosphere.
May be is a lot of scare but still with that, I know that I should continue walking.
Maya, I should write a message later, ok?
Bye P:

Since the last monday I have desires of to leave this place coz now, I want to do many new things in a place that I know already, I mean, Torreón City.
I want to open my offices in this city... but due to work load, I havent oportunity of go to search to my friend that will to rent their house in this city.

By this side I´m happy¡¡.
By the other, I want finish soon this projects and go to Torreon for open my offices in this city.
My Area of Buseness is the Telecomunications.

But, betwen other things that I want to do in this city is stop a marriage that could happen the 21 of this month. If I dont do something before of this day, all could be lost...
The girls is a person that all the like have liked to me, but I never tell some to this girl, may be coz 6 years she was lost, until that one of my friends give me the email of the girl...

Maya, Friend, I really have desires of write more but, I still have many, many work.

Maya 9. July 2007, 06:36

Hola jesus,
I am so happy to hear that you are busy and have a lot of work to do!
That is good for body and soul!
i see you have BIG plans for your future! That is awesome!

I did not quite get the story of the girl. Is SHE getting married and you'd like to stop that? Who is she getting married to?
Hm, hope she did not break your heart!

Take care,
good luck!
Maja

Jesús 12. July 2007, 05:49

:D Of some way, your comment paint a smile in my face :D¡
"Hm, hope she did not break your heart".
Hope the same P:¡¡

More well, she arent very convinced of to marriage but still isnt married.
She is confuse coz when I talk of "freedom", "traveling", "buseness traveling" and many others things that sound good , she becomes emotioned, but later sad, coz she feel that now, she will to loose many things, like the oportunity of to know these places.

Of all ways, I will go to Torreón this weekend, and I want to see to she, all the weekend.

jesús

Maya, thank u very much for encourage and support ¡¡¡

I promise that if I become sucessfull in the buseness, I will gave to u like gift, the most delicious mexican chocolate personally :D¡¡.
(By cert, I luuuuuuuuuuv to many the chocolate :love:¡¡¡).

Maya 13. July 2007, 07:15

OK, now I can hardly wait for you to become very successful!

It is not very smart to get married if you are 'not sure'. She should think about it before it's too late!
I like your new photo! Like a Big Business Man!
Take care my friend!
