Hiking

Posted by Lisa on August 8th, 2005 — Posted in Activities

I’ve started hiking 3 times a week with some of the girls from the recinto. We go at the ungodly hour of 7:45 am. We hike up Cerro Grande. The total time of the hike is bout an hour and a half. Last week, on our way down the mountain, we found 2 baby goats that had gotten abandoned by their mom, they still had part of their umbilical cords attached. Goat herders bring their herds over the mountain from the Elqui Valley. So of course, we climbed up and got them, and brought them down the mountain. I really wanted to keep one as a pet, but I knew Steve would not be too happy about it. We ended up bring them to one of the local farmers who raise goats. Today, I brought my camera to get some pics, but of course the weather didn’t cooperate, it was foggy and misty, which is normal for winter. In the pic, you can’t see the top of Cerro Grande due to the fog. I’ll get better pics when the weather cooperates. Thankfully, the fog usually burns off by afternoon, and it’s usually in the 60s-70s. Aahh what a life…
