I have found my favorite place on the farm.  Just a little ways off from the main house there is a grove of very tall trees.  Right in the center is a tiny house modeled after Snow White.  It has little chairs and little beds inside just like the story.  Inside the forest it is cool and very quiet except for the sound of birds and running water nearby.  Ewe planted this forest in the 70's.  He told me that his Father used to always say that when it seems like it is the end of the world, you must build or make something new.  So, in the midst of political turmoil with Allende, he planted this forest.  I have to keep this idea firmly in my mind.  It's powerful.

perhaps the trees are watching us? 

and the little house

This is Kiki.  I think she is so beautiful!  I am hoping to get pictures of the rest of the kids today.

Today we are supposed to go see the volcano at Villarica.  I'm really excited about it.  More later!
