coñaripe



it was great to be back in the south again. after the pucón trip, i realized i was really craving the fresh, clean area of the lakes region. it did rain, like really rain, pretty much the entire time. stupidly, i forgot my rain jacket and had to rely on my winter shell to keep me dry. we were staying with a very nice man native to the area. he was a musical performer as well so i enjoyed a little pancho/leo/mia/scott sing-along. highlights of the weekend included seeing a real house in a tree, trying rosa mosqueta jam and absolutely loving it and spending an afternoon in hot springs underneath a shelter next to a raging river, all while it was storming... raining really hard. the picture above on the right is from the inside of the tree house, complete with windows! the one on the left is an amazing che painting that we saw inside the tree house.



this video was taken after one of our water-logged expeditions when pancho couldn't get his boots off.

* notice pancho clinging to the doorframe as his foot is being pulled in the opposite direction. classic pancho move.



from l to r, pancho trying to brave the flood without shoes, lentils dinner and below- the view from the termas.
