Cherry picking in Patagonia

The cherries are getting ripe.
We decided to pick them before the birds get them.
We will be picking them every day.
We all got involved.

My dad picked the cherries from high up on the ladder.

I even managed to pick some, but I was wearing thongs, so that was a No NO.

Zalia and my mum, her Lela (Abuela in Zalia's language).
