To Curico

Back on Ruta 5, cool overcast day pretty easy going. Stopped off in San Fernado for lunch and met Jaime. He introduced himself after I had eaten and took delight in showing me his John Deer tractor that he was immensely proud of, and proud of his children of course. I was the first to hear that his lover was having a baby so he was in a bit of a mess. Anyway we struggled to speak to one another for nearly 2 hours, he in his Spinglish and I in my Spanglish. He invited me to stay on his farm for the night but his life seemed a bit complex so “gracias pero no”. I moved on to Curico where I found a camping spot, as it was getting dark.
