Algorrobo, Chile




Went home with Amal, my 18-year-old "sister", this past weekend. She lives in a small town called Algorrobo. Her family is from Jordyn so we ate lots of delicious arabic food that her mom made us. I acquired another "sister"; 10-year-old Samar. The three of us climbed small mountains and explored beaches in between. Their dad gave me a tour of the farm, where I developed an even deeper respect for farmers as I watched a man planting seeds by hand. The weather was sunny and cool and I took deep breaths of clean air.
