Yesterday we went to see a 3,500 year old tree. It's in the Alerce Costero National Park in La Union, Chile. It was a steep mile+ down and the same up, but the tree roots were so bad that it was very hard to walk. Grandpa and I were both exhausted at the end! But the tree was lovely and huge! So impressive! It was a very hard walk after Monday's paseo! I am so sore and stiff. It was hard to get up this morning to get ready to go to church. It was a long walk to church -- all of 5 minutes -- but it seemed much longer! But it was worth it! (Besides we live on the Calle Parque Alerce Costero (Alerce Costero Park Street). So we had to go!)

This tree grows a "scab" when the tree is
attacked or ill. Very interesting! |

| One tall tree!!! |

We went with a group from La Union,
the town we live in. |
