hello family and friends,
many have asked for more from us re our new life in chile, so here is our blog.
today is a fog-filled day; it's like living in a cloud. lance is tuned-out -- watching a movie on his laptop with headphones; the dogs are crashed (samson and delilah both under me in front of our big glass sliding doors, our first rescue dog jack outside in front; ramiro our helper is in the woods cutting firewood; the chucaos are singing; and i'm here setting up our blog with one hand (a bit OC?).
i burnt my hand on the cookstove yesterday -- nothing too serious but it hurt like hell -- so i went to the hospital to get it wrapped with burn cream. it took about 1/2 hr in the emergency room and cost me $2500 pesos (about US$5). it will cost another $13000 pesos for me to get registered at the hospital today. (a friend went in last week with a bladder infection and stayed the night for about US$300.) we left the hospital and then rented 5 dvd's for 4 days for $10000 pesos. i think chile has its priorities in order.
we've been here almost a month but it feels like much longer. this is our home now. we both feel very blessed to be here. life is good. we hope to be ready for visitors (we're putting in a guest cabin) by christmas. stay tuned! xoxox
