| The road did not get any
better. |
Cat crossing a flooded road. |
 |
 |
| Cat was chasing a very big
rabbit. She is showing me how it got away
by running through a hole in that fence. |
The traffic got a little heavy in
this location. The truck broke down, but
the cows just kept on going. |
 |
 |
| These cows in Chile are huge.
They just eat the local grass and drink in the
rivers. They are never fed
anything. The cow drops a calf and 14
months later it is 600 pounds and ready to
sell. |
We ran into some wild life, the
worlds smallest deer. |
 |
 |
| We even found Pink Flamingos in
Chile. If the climate is OK for the
Flamingos, it is OK for me. |
This was one mean bird. He
came after us. He almost got Cat, but she was a
little to fast for him. He was not happy
that I was taking his picture either. |
 |
 |
| This was a much nicer bird. |
This family was very nice
also. |
 |
 |
| This was another mean bird.
I just wanted to take his picture, but he
wanted to take my camera. |
More Deer. They were really
neat looking animals. |
 |
 |
| Note the birds on this
island. Just before I took this picture,
the Daddy bird came after me making all kinds
of noises. |
Look at this close up. The
Momma bird is on the nest and the Daddy bird is
keeping his eyes on me. Southern
Chile is a wildlife paradise. And this is
the "real world" it is not animals in a
cage. |

We also took some pictures of Sea Lions after we
returned to town. There was two of them laying
beside a city sidewalk, basking in the sun.
They were huge, bigger than the cows. They really
looked intimidating. Later, I will dig up those
pictures. In America, if two sea lions were laying
on a city sidewalk, everyone would be in a panic, but in Chile,
it is just another day in Paradise. Local residents were
riding their bicycles down the side walk, past the sea
lions just like they did it every day. They got within 6
feet of them. I did not get that close, they can move
quite fast when they want to.
We have many more to come. We will be inserting more
pictures in a few days.
