Chile Travel Report Libertad |
|
|
In Vicuņa--my favorite Chile town--I met Vivian. We became good friends. She introduced me to Ricardo, who in turn introduced me to... |
 |
|
|
...Libertad, another "earth woman" like Sofia (but very different). She lives somewhat primitively, but has a most healthy lifestyle and a small footprint on the planet.
I use the term "earth woman" to denote one who lives close to the soil, with little concrete or steel intervening |

|
Approaching her house from the dirt road, a bamboo fence. |
 |
|
|
Her bedroom is the only structure with a non-dirt floor |
 |
|
|
And she's made it quite charming inside |
 |
|
|
But the rest of her dwelling spaces--kitchen, storeroom, work room, bath--are relatively simple structures. A dirt walkway passes by the kitchen and work room. |
 |
|
|
I brought lunch one day, and we ate in her work room. |
 |
|
|
She does ceramics, makes marmalades and other edibles, and is setting up a small store to market them. |
