check out this deal. Azucena the farm ´director´, í´ll call her, decided one afternoon she wants to pick up trees people are trashing around town. cool. that means we get to ride around in a cart behind the car and jump out and pick stuff up and go on a little field trip. we pick up some fig branches, a big stump, and then she decides she wants a pine that the el zonda, wind, had blown over a few weeks before in a park on the side of the road. after 30 minutes, and 5 people get this bad boy into the back cart behind the car and ride down the highway blowing up a storm of dust. we dug a hell of a hole and couldn´t quite get it up. kinda a crazy hippie idea one must say. we managed to prop it up, and finally the next day it stood. though the true test will be when el zonda comes again. 
here it stands. a salvaged pine. other than this the super important news is that we dug some asecias, ditches for water to come through, hauled a ton of firewood, beth got sick for a couple days. and we are feeling pretty good being farmers.
we also had some blow out bonfires. it was "super necessary" according to our farm director for a huge fire to burn a stump so the car with the cart could turn. so we piled a bunch of crap we had scrapped from working on the chicken tractors and chinchilla house and had this fogata. we also ate some sweet paella. big news on the farm. the stump was burnt.
so we spilt from argentina, took a nice bus over the andes. and we´re in chile, on the coast. it´s warmer here and we are enjoying a small break being clean for a couple days and eating lots of fruit and some fish.
next we go south, to fundo los lagartos. not before first stopping in valparaiso to check out some neruda history and weird houses.
