When we first arrived in Chile in 1987, we located to the countryside village of Olmue to learn Spanish. Olmue is nestled below an imposing mountain, la Campana, which gets a snow-covered peak at this time of year.
Today we re-visited Olmue, where horses and cowboys have right of way. It hasn't changed much and one of the things that one does in Olmue is to eat the famous "empanadas." So, as you can see we went right ahead and did so.
The cool weather has been quite a shock to our system - around 11 degrees - but it was nice and sunny at Olmue, where we dined in the lovely country air. We visited the place that we stayed in '87, a church retreat centre, only to find it overgrown and run-down. A shame and a bit sad, but not unexpected.
Eating and drinking seem to be the main things on our agenda at present, so at some stage that will have to change.... not today though!!!!!

i cant believe you hadan Empanada. I was thinking about making one the other day! Made something similar instead. Hope you are getting fat!! Still wish I was there! Don't know if the broncos won...
Has "Shappelle" been let out of prison yet? It is a little thing. (Only a fine and lost time lol). Helps you get ready for immigration in Uganda.
What is an Empanada? Is it like Matoki or Posho?
We are pleased to see you having a great time and being welcomed "back home". Keep on putting on weight then I won't feel so bad!
