Center of the Community

Heading towards the mountains in Chillan there are a surprising number of Evangelical churches. Many are like this one in the photo, small little shacks that draw the local huasos to worship. There are hardly any real towns in this area, just roads with houses, farms and shacks on the side. The nearest town is basically an intersection with a couple stores and a restaurant. So this little church is the closest thing to community for miles and miles.

The only other establishment is, of course, a liquor store across the street.
