Love this place!

It NEVER rains in this part of Chile!

On previous trips to Chile we were told that it never
rains in this part of Chile.
I have been in Chile almost 2 months. Raenada and Chase arrived one month ago. The night they arrived in Chile it rained. It has rains two more times since then.
This is the big joke with the Luna Family, our Associates, that this is really not rain but a figmint of the imagination.
In September they say that the barren hills will be covered with blue flowers because of the rains.

Most days are sunny and warm. Once in a while the mist rolls in and you better find a coat and hat. It is a heavy wet fog.
You have to bring the whole closet with you to work. Lots of layers when it's cold and then take the layers off when the sun comes out.
