This past weekend Genaro took some friends and I to these amazing termas in the mountains, called Tolhuaca. We stopped first in Curacautin to pick up the keys to the house we were staying in and to thank the people who were letting us. Genaro used to work at these termas and the old bosses were letting him stay in their small cottage next to the termas. We walk into the bosses home and are greeted with open arms. Instantly I fall in love with this couple, they are hilarious and always joking and being nice. They look like they were created from a book or something because they has so much character on their faces. Not only did they give us the keys and told us everything was free for the weekend but the mother than took us out to lunch at their restaurant they just opened. At we ate a shit load, I don't think I've ever eaten that much meat were I didn't know what animal or part of the body it was coming from. Some that I can remember were blood sausage, someone's intestine, goat's throat, other sausages, steaks, etc. The restaurant was gorgeous also, the dad was Arabic so it had a little eastern vibe but had nice tables, music, bar, and even better food. I'm taking notes for when I open my restaurant. After being stuff to the max we thanked the mother and went to the hot springs.
The place we were staying at was awesome, like a little house next to the main restaurant and next to the kitchen. The first night we chilled at the pool and couldn't believe how ridiclous it was, right in the mountains next to a river, heated by a geyser that you could sit in, in a cave. The Araucana trees would grow straight out of the cliffs up above us. After the pool we chilled at the house and played cards, taught the old man how to play Rummy 500. Was pretty fun and of course I crushed, guess all those games in OBX payed off.
Next day we chilled at another pool and just hung, ate hamburgers for lunch that Genaro made. Then we went to a small campo of some friends Genaro knows ate even more bread and drank Mati for the first time, was pretty good. They had three of the coolest dogs ever, and I helped the guy there cut some wood cause I want to be a hippie-farmer. Relaxed hard, made friends with the kitchen staff, drank some vino. Was fun. Sunday it snowed and it made everything super linda. We went again to the main pool when it was snowing and it was like being in a different world. Although we didn't want to leave it took us an insane amount of time to get out of there because my host dad might be the slowest man on Earth, sometimes annoying cause i could easily throw him over my shoulder and make him move. But all in all another amazing weekend in Chile.
