Generally try to avoid big cities, so Santiago isn’t on my intended route. But you never know where I’ll end up.
Greetings to the family!

The cool thing with cochineal is that you can mix lime juice with it and it turns to a lighter red-orange.

Hey Matt, I had never actually read your FAQ, but just did. That was nice to get the ‘big picture’. I check in with you about once a week on your blog. We have a U of Michigan gal from our church in Chile until mid-Dec. doing study abroad. I am pretty sure she is in Santiago. Don’t know when you might be getting down that way. Stay safe! Our Tim heads back to Seattle on Wed. for his second year of college. Kristin is applying to six or more now in her HS Sr. year.

Matt! What a fantastic post! I read a book on early textile dying last winter and literally gasped when looking at the picture of the cochineal and it’s magic-purple/redness on your finger. Also…I love the pictures. They tell a great story. Enjoy the mountains, the company, and hopefully more good camping.
