Winter activities: Termas, Snowboarding and Patagonia

Work kept us fairly busy the last few months and it is time for a quick catch-up post to document what we have been up to this winter to escape the city every now and then:

Chewy chocolate chip cookies and cashew milk - Winter is coming! ;)

We have had a few slightly colder days recently and a lot less sun that we are used to. So, here is a 15min chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe to make it all better!

Dubai

It has been a busy few weeks! We had the opportunity to go to Dubai to present at a solar workshop last month. The trip was exciting. If nothing else for the big contrasts that one finds in a place like Dubai.

Cerro el Plomo 5434m asl

Believe it or not, we still have a fairly decent "to-do" list of adventures in Chile. One of the items that had been there (and in real life looking right back at us most days) is Cerro el Plomo. Despite being called "cerro", which in Spanish means "small mountain", this is the biggest mountain around the Santiago area and it stands proudly at 5434 above sea level. It can be seen from most places in Santiago (pollution allowing) and back in the Inca days it had an "Apu" status: The incas believed that the biggest mountains had a spirit/god.
