Catapilco

Today we drove to Catapilco, where Jorge and Pedro have built a country house. They bought the property with some friends and everyone is developing a house at their own pace. Of course Jorge and Pedro built theirs first. It is completely fabulous. The house is simple and can be completely open or completely closed. And of course it is filled with beautiful things from all over the world. It reminds me a bit of where Michael Jackson built "Neverland." It is about 15 minutes from the ocean and surrounded by hills and mountains. Really beautiful. So, to round out the picture, we are about an hour and a half from Santiago. I would not have said that I found Santiago stressful and noisy but now that I am here, WOW. So quiet! So pretty! There are these kids that play basketball in the street in the evening outside of my window in Santiago and I am realizing that I do not miss them at all now that I am in the country. While I write, Jorge and Pedro are making me dinner. What´s not to like?
