David in Vicuņa, Chile

 

Walking one day in Callingasta, a pueblo near Vicuņa, Chile, I came across Juan Antonio, just standing in the dirt road, looking around. 

 

We struck up a conversation, and he invited me to his home.

He has horses, and showed me his saddles and gear, and invited me to ride with him on Saturday.

 

 

 

I never did get back there to ride, but I couldn't resist trying on his poncho and sombrero de huaso

I often connected in friendly exchanges with groups of youths; here in Vicuņa, Chile

 

 

 

And another group, again in Vicuņa

 

 

And with Pietro and friends, with my favorite Tshirt
