Carahue

In attempt to become more familiar with the surrounding region, I have been taking time to visit the other cities around Labranza. That said, I spent a day exploring both Imperial and Carahue not too long ago.

Whether conversing with street vendors, browsing consignment stores, or simply walking around, I enjoyed getting to know some locals and taking in the new sights and sounds. For lunch, I bought a home-made humita, and I also brought some home-made jam back to the house to share. One produce vendor who I ended up chatting with for quite a while also gave me some “membrillos,” a sour Chilean fruit to try for myself.

Since I did not have many plans when visiting, I ended up stopping by a “mirador,” or lookout, in Carahue that was recommended by a local. Enjoy the view!

  1. The diversity of your photos, the breadth of your experiences and your keen eye for details are wonderfully displayed with each of your blog entries. I love your brief descriptions and witty humor. Reminds me of somebody.

    Keep up the good work!!!
