We are moving again!
The area where we live is slowly being taken over by big developers. They are turning a family home with garden type neighbourhood into 25 floor apartment blocks. We now have 5 tall construction cranes within 200m from here and noisy concrete lorries drive past our house all the time.
Of course, there are pros and cons to this... pros, more people fit in less space. Less materials are needed to take gas and electricity to everyone, less miles to collect rubbish, less energy needed to heat the space etc... you get the picture.

Los Ríos - volcanos, lakes, rain forest and hot springs
Throughout January and February we didn't really get out of town. I guess we were too busy with work and other things - we had a few couch surfers around and on Saturdays we went to watch German movies screened by the Goethe Institut. Jan and Feb is also the main holiday season in Chile and therefore the traffic, pollution and general huzzle and buzzle in the city is only half as bad as for the rest of the year. So actually quite a good time to stay put.

Freegan dogs eat fruit and veg, they also take the bus
A bit of a light hearted post...
We are very impressed by how quickly Mario has learnt that all sorts of veg can be eaten. He has reached the stage where he knows how to eat corn on the cob (without eating the cob, just eating the corn!):

Making Vegetable milks in pictures
A few weeks ago we finally decided to go back to basics and start making our own milk from scratch. Reasons for doing this:
- it is healthier
- you know what you are eating
- you decide what ingredients you put and adjust taste accordingly
