My new friend from “La Loberia Bed and Breakfast“, Silvia Stein,  is a dear! Since this is a holiday weekend, she invited me to stay on, even though I finished doing the workshop on “Gaining Strength Through Overcoming Obstacles” yesterday here in Cobquecura. I’m so grateful, as “living on the road” has taken a toll on my and I need a bit of rest and a little haven to be able to relax a bit. It’s actually quite a miracle. The inner patio of this place, besides fountains and a profusion of flowers, trees, etc., has a collection of copihues (Chile’s national flower).

This really is a lovely hotel! Plus, the beaches here stretch on for miles and miles in pristine beauty. Along with interesting rock formations off the coast and a whole colony of sea lions, the countryside here is like stepping back in time: farmers move along slowly in their oxen carts; one room school houses  kept busy with children helping each other learn; forests, fields, and sea all blending together in a beautiful mosaic.
Adjoining the Bed and Breakfast is a museum, containing archaeological , indigenous, and cultural displays of the area….quite interesting as this was an indigenous reserve from the time of the Spanish conquest.

Anyone out there who’s looking for something delightfully different, as far a a vacation experience….this is it! Besides, I was told by some surfers that this area has some of the best surfing spots of Chile…..Buchapurreo…right up the beach.
