Las canteras

Yesterday the other Angol volunteers and I (and 3 host family/friend members) trekked out to the Canteras de Deuco, a quarry near Angol (that used to be a mine).  We rode our bikes, which was a mistake, because it was half an hour or riding over a rocky old railroad path.  But the scenery was beautiful, and we made it!  There are two lakes, one public and one private (with a zipline and paddleboats and cabins on the private side), but we were only there for the afternoon so we took a dip in the public side.  Since it's fall here, it's not quarry season and we had the place almost entirely to ourselves.  So lovely! I must admit that we walked our bikes a good portion of the way back--we were exhausted and sore (especially me). But it was a fun expedition : )
