Today I went to a very small town called Achao on an island Quinchao that is supposed to have a population of 9200 people. Very yummy piece of salmon for lunch with simple but very fresh (local produce, I suspect) salad. Sat on the beach for a while watching the world go by. It´s got a church that was built in 1730, wood shingles. Many wooden churches on Chiloe and surrounding small islands that are UNESCO listed, I think. quite pretty. But unluckily could not go into church to nosey as today was priest´s day off - according to sign on outside of church. Yesterday almost OD´d on seafood - many different types of mussels, clams, etc. for lunch and dinner. Lots of seafood in this part of the world - lots of Salmon farming apparently. I´ve been wearing thermals underneath clothes all day. Outdoors during the day, light jumper. Cold wind, but today has been fine skies, good.
