In September we were delighted to have my brother Phillip and his wife Sue to stay. They had won a 5 week tour of South America in a raffle and decided to spend some time with us in Bolivia before embarking on their busy schedule in Peru and Argentina.
They were so happy to be visiting Sky Hacienda in person after following our blog for the past 2 years.

I took them to Potosi, the highest city in the world at 4,300 metres.

We also visited the Sunday market in Tarabuco.

Phil and Sue were anxious to help out during their stay and, having planted thousands of trees on their property in South Australia, we were glad to have their expertise.
By the time they left they had planted nearly half of the 100 pine trees we had bought earlier and gave us the incentive to finish planting the remainder.

...and the tomato seedlings they transplanted are now flourishing in the vegetable patch.
