Before I took off back to Santiago, one of the professors from my school called one of her friends to take us up the the fruit and vegetable crops in the mountains just outside of San Felipe. This is a main location where fruits and vegetables are grown to ship out to the United States. Although most of them bloom in the spring, I did get to see bundles of clementine crops and was able to pick a ton of them and take them home to eat. They are even better off the tree! It was such a beautiful sight to see San Felipe from afar, I couldn't believe I was leaving so soon! It was definitely an adventure, at times rather off road in our truck, but I was glad I got to see it before I left.
