My best holidays ever:

I can still remember the pine essence in the air, the tree shadows playing with the morning sun. When we first arrived in Tres Morros it was the nicest place I have stayed. I was part of scout patrol of nearly 12 to 14 boys, where Gastón and Marcelo were our Patrol guides plus a couple of grown-ups who were there to give a helping hand with the daily chores.

Tres Morros is located by the coast near Coliumo, which is a tiny community close to Tomé in the 8^th region, in the southern part of Chile. We spent two weeks there. I remember going fishing in the morning, hunting some days in the afternoon. Playing hide-and-seek at dusk, collecting sea shells and constructing a trail towards the camping site. We also helped the owner digging and installing a new extension of the water pipes and rebuilt the latrines.

There were days we cooked bread right into the wood ashes. The locals call this ‘tortillas de rescaldo’ I oversaw the water supply for our camping spot and it was my daily task to carry it into the kitchen for the daily cooking. We had two 50 liters tanks which I had to refill at least twice a day. We went sailing and rowing a couple of days and went to the local fish market to get some seafood for lunch. In the night, we used to tell scary tales and present some funny plays. I remember having a big fire in the middle of all the site. Some nights Gastón had his guitar and sang us some camping songs and a few ‘tonadas’.

I cannot forget my time with the boys in Tres Morros. Unfortunately, on those days, having a camera wasn’t that easy, so I haven’t got any photograph that would help to recall some of the faces that have started to fade away as years pass by.
