Day 8- The rodeo is in town!!!
All weekend, the rodeo has been in town, we decided to go on Sunday. Steve and I have been wanting to go to a rodeo since we’ve been in Chile. At Parque Coll, which is just down the street from us, they have been busy updating it and rebuilding the stadium for the past month, so we were hoping it meant something was coming. Lucky for us they had the quarter finals this weekend. We went from noon until 530 and had a blast. There was also some shops around the stadium and we were able to buy Terry a chilean painting for his christmas gift. One really neat thing was where are seats were in the stadium, the cattle was right under us and there was a secret door right below our seats where they let the cattle out for the rodeo part, we were right in the middle of the action. Enjoy the pics….

Buenos Dias —
I am on Spring Break and decided to see what the Margheim’s are up to (down to) in Chile. I was expecting to see something unusual and what do I see but a good ole Colorado Rodeo!!
I am anxious to try the Quinoa dish Lisa. Glad you are all enjoying this time in your life. Love the stories of the farms, markets, hikes and most of all your pictures. How do I go about booking a stay at the Chilean Margheim Resort? Love ya all — Aunt Dee
