We took a ferry to the Island of Chiloe and then drove to the town of Castro. It reminded me alot of the San Juan Islands.
We visited Iglesias San Francisco painted yellow and purple, just my style.
All the houses here in Chile are wood with wood shingles.
We had lunch of Curanto, which is a wooded bowl filled with mussles, clams, pork, chicken and chorizo enough for two and heavy on the mussles and clams, my favorite. It came with a wonderful broth on the side for dipping.
Then we went on a short launch trip to see the parafitos, which are houses on tall stilts over the water. They used to be houses for poorer people, like houseboats, but now are becoming houses for the rich.
