When I think of the country of Chile, many memories come to mind. The Andes Mountains, Malbec wines, penguins and the overall beauty of the country bring back fond memories. Then there are memories that I completely forgot about until sifting through old photos. One of these is the town of Pichilemu and the festively decorated Alpaca I found walking the beach.
