Good morning friends! While lupines are ubiquitous signs of spring & summer in both Chilean & Argentinian Patagonia, I find the color palette gets more interesting the farther south you go. These beauties literally line the streets of Punta Arenas.

33 years ago today I stepped off the plane into Chile for the first time. What a beautiful ride it has been! Thank you Chile, for everything ❤️.
1) Pasaje Fischer Valpo, yesterday
2) Cemetery 1 Valpo, 2018 for Costa Magazine
3) 2001 inauguration of our Cerro Bellavista renovation project.

Yours truly at Violeta Parra stairway, Pasaje Galvez, Valparaíso this afternoon. Photo by my daughter, Elyse. If you look at my shirt you will see our alpaca, Gilbert. I saved Gilbert from a brutal dog attack earlier in the year so my niece put his image on this shirt & gave it to me for Christmas ❤️

They never complain about my limited set list or my 3-note vocal range. That is why, when I am feeling sad, I play for my horses.

Infinite sadness today in so many levels.

Good morning! Our gang celebrated the Packers victory over the Bears Sunday by getting their annual hair cuts. They don’t love the process, obviously, but they do enjoy not having to wear a 10-12 pound wool coat in the (increasingly hot) Patagonian summer.

Good morning! Here is a view of the Chilean version of the Azul River which borders our farm in Futaleufú—not to be confused with the river of the same name across the border in El Bolsón, Argentina. Both Azul Rivers are beautiful, BTW, but this one flows into the mighty FU, so…. 😊❤️

Spring flowers in Valparaiso,
Chile. No city has shaped my professional, intellectual, & spiritual life more profoundly.

My son, Nico, at Mirador Pozòn de los Reyes high above Chile’s mighty Futaleufú. He will turn 24 next week and is scheduled to defend his thesis on his birthday. Assuming that goes well, he will be a Civil Industrial Engineer.

Good morning! I am, actually, in Valpo—not Patagonia—this week so feel free to send your Packers-Vikings content to Little Willie via Bluesky. He gets anxious on game days when I am not around.
