Castro, Chiloé

When we got to Castro, Chiloé, we were looking for a hostel and then we bumped into 2 people that spoke English. They said that there was a good hostel called Hostel Ballvista. So we went there. At the hostel, there was a cat named Simón. Simón the cat was a white cat with black spots. There was also a boy named Josè Thomas. We played foosball and Mario Kart 8 with him and another boy. It was fun! We went to watch firefighters put out a fire in a store 2 blocks away.

Another day, we went on a hike. One part of the hike was at a beach. We used sticks to trace a house and then we put shells on the trace marks. We built bedrooms for me and Charlie, a fireplace, a bathroom, a table with food on it (crab bodies and legs), and even a doormat!

The Pacific Ocean!

The next day,we were going to go kayaking but it was a really rainy day so we didn't go. When it was Christmas I got:
-chocolate bars
-water bottles
-gum
-dried cranberries
-and honey

The Farm

We went to a farm for a Workaway. A Workaway is when you go to someone’s place and stay for free because you work for them. On the farm there are: ducks, geese, chickens, a pig, a dog, and bunnies. The people on the farm are named Lori, Jim and Thomas. Lori is the mom, Jim is the dad, and Thomas is their son. They are from the United States but they moved here to start a small farm.

At the farm, we had jobs. My jobs were feeding and giving water to the bunnies, ducks, chickens and geese. I also made a mud puddle for the pig. I also got the eggs from the chicken coop. I liked my jobs because they were fun!

Me, Charlie and Thomas built a secret hideout in the woods. Our secret hideout had a bench, shelves, and more. We made bamboo swords. We had sword fights with them.

Me and Charlie found worms and slugs in the dirt and we gave them to the chickens. The rooster did not want them. I thought the rooster would eat them all! It was very funny when we fed them a big slug because when one of the chickens got it all of the rest came running after her!
