Lunch

We have fallen into the habit of eating our main meal at lunchtime -like most of our neighbours and treated ourselves today to the restaurant at the end of the road which specialises in Cordero al Palo -Spit roasted Lamb.

Very simple spit roasting oven – could build one when I get home – and substantial portions served with boiled potatoes and a Chilean salad – tomatoes and onions.

Tried to order a ½ bottle of cabernet sauvignon but was sold a bottle on the basis that I could take the balance home – somehow we managed to finish it along with all the lamb. But had to decline the dessert menu – Linda reckons she won't need to eat again until the weekend

Walking home we discovered a substantial shrine to St Andrew who, when he is not caring for Scots everywhere, apparently does a bit moonlighting looking after coastal communities in Chile.
