The
storm vanished away before beginning, and the
day starts with a beautiful hot sun.
After
a whole night spent telling stories, drinking
pisco and smoking cigarettes, Carmen, Marcos
Vale and Nicole explore the fjord with a small
boat called the Titanic (because of the many
holes).
After
several miles away, they arrive in front of a
small yellow church. Next to it on the right
is a small graveyard with Christmas
decorations all over the wooden crosses. On
the left, a football pitch and a small school.
We
are welcomed by its young schoolmaster. After
having explained to him the spirit of the
Car@van, he asks us to come and teach his 22
pupils for several hours next week.
With
no electricity nor telephone in the area, our
house has a little generator, useful for
recharging our Pcs and cameras. Carmen has
lent us woolen socks. After having spend the
morning working in the living room, we're
invited by Marcos neighbors to collect
potatoes.
Chili
is the homeland of the potatoes and has more
than a 150 different species. We're introduced
to Marco's neighbor, of Huillichean extraction
and we start harvesting the potatoes, whilst
making jokes and messing around. Indeed, Vale
beats us all by sucking on a little worm !
Several
hours later, we harvested more around 200
kilos of potatoes !
