Springtime

Today I visited the Museo Archeologial de Gustavo Le Paige in San Pedro de Atacama. It chronicles the ancient customs of Atacameñans, the techniques they used for farming, their celebrations, their uses for natural resources. From gold, stone, wood, ceramics. And then there's a tiny bit on post-colonization. Again, an interesting blend of antiquity, indigenous peoples, colonization and modern times.

The dogs are all in heat here. This one poor girl dog has been barking all day at a German Shephard who she's apparently not interested in, and yet he persists. Interesting, given that it's winter. No spring fever here, I guess. Or maybe it's always spring here in Chilé...hee, hee!
