Yesterday the temperatures didn't get out of the teens. In spite of two wood stoves going, the house was chilly. So I went to to Chile, to enjoy Maria Cecilia's lush summer gardens at Casa Dulce Hogar.
I recommend blog travel to anyone looking for summer in the midst of snow and ice -- it's free; no security lines or baggage fees; and, unlike James James Morrison Morrison's mother, you can be back in time for tea.
South Africa and New Zealand are lovely at this time of year. . .
