Vino!
I did it! I actually relaxed all day today!!! Aren't you proud?
The day started with sleeping in followed by loafing and reading my book.
We were picked up by a driver for a vineyard tour at 11:30 and lucked out. The other 8 english speakers didnt show up for the tour so Jeff and i got a private tour. The best part was that part of the tour was done from horse drawn buggies.
The tour and tasting was great. We had lunch at the resturant at the winery and then went to a second winery for another tasting.
We then had our pleasantly wined selves driven back to our B and B and relaxed for a couple hours. I read, Jeff pretended to read and took a nap.
We ended the evening by going in to town. They are having a 4 day music festival where they close down the street, have a few craft venders in the main square and a ton of food venders and set up a stage and have free music. We had street food for dinner and icecream and enjoyed the band. There was probably 2000 people down there either listening to music or wandering around the square.
The most interesting bit was they had a 30 minute video that was part, public service anouncement, part recognition of locals and local buisness and part promotional video for that region in Chile. It was very interesting. The party was still going full blast at 11 PM when Jeff and I called it a night. Chileans stay up so late! It's not just adults, there were a ton of little kids down there too. Definately not the early bed times I'm used to, lol!
That winery is beautiful and just look at that gorgeous weather! You guys picked the perfect time to escape Idaho. Horse drawn carriages and bed and breakfasts- wonderful and relaxing! Yay!
