While up on the mountain, we took a few pictures of the mountains, and none were too successful because of the smog and pollution! PHEW! But, Richard did stand at the feet of the Virgin Mary, and he did have the National Chilean drink that you all will want to have when you get here. It's called a mote con huesillo, and it was actually very refreshing. Look it up- here is the link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mote_con_huesillo
I took Richard's pictures at the feet of the very large Virgin Mary on top of the mountain. I am including a picture of the view , which, as I said, was poor. I chopped off the head of the statue- sorry, but I did get Richard. So much for my picture taking skills. Also, a picture of the drink, before consumption.
So do you eat the mote or leave it in the bottom of the glass?
ReplyDeleteYou eat it all. The dried reconstituted peach is quite a challenge, as it is kind of slippery, but the wheat stuff is ok, and the liquid is very sweet and refreshing in the heat.
