Chile Travel Report Sofia Maria |
|
|
I love interesting faces, especially old ones. Meet Sofia Maria, goat herder. Isn't that some face?
|
 |
|
|
I was driving north from La Serena in my 1-week rental car, and I spied Sofia riding her burro up on the hill above the highway. |
 |
|
|
I approached her, and we chatted for a while, then I drove on |
 |
|
|
Sofia has no family living with her. She and her husband separated many years ago She has several children who live 20 or 30 miles (30-50km) away |

Since the main form of navigation here is scrolling down (my preference is the Down Arrow), I find it most satisfying to switch my browser to Full Screen mode (F11 on PCs, ?? on Macs) |

And a ways down the road I looked back, and caught her in my sights again, bringing 'em on home
|
 |
|
|
A couple of days later, returning south from Copiapo with a couple of hitch-hikiers--Luciana and Marcello-- we found Sofia's farm |
 |
|
|
and brought lunch to share with her |
