Hotel Del Mar Vina del Mar

Ayer fui con Nico y Pablo a Reñaca para pasar la noche en la casa de Pablo. Comimos comida árabe (cous cous y carne) y Pablo también cocinó una tortilla de verduras. Todo fue muy sabroso.

Me enseñaron tocar los congos y entonces tocabamos juntos (Pablo tocando la guitarra y Nico el trompete). Me mostraron MUCHA música de Chile y del mundo hispanohablante en general (Inti-Illimani, Los Tres, Los Jaivas, Victor Jara, Silvio ...

... jer onu koju imam ne mogu promijenit) i skinem neke slike s neta i pravim se da sam negdje u andama/kod machu picchua, a zapravo se nalazim na nekom hrvatskom otoku s novim mobitelom, novom robom i novim laptopom.. ali ne. ipak sam odlucila ostati ovdje (unatoc tome sto sam jedva jedvice nasla smjestaj u santiagu za nedjelju, a poslije toga NEMAM POJMA gdje idem!). cekam da krenemo van pa da svijet postane malo ljepse mjesto hahaha

... tomorrow morning. Oscar is bringing Antonia to the house today. Maybe she'll play the Wii with me once! (She's so hyper but cute and shy towards me!) Margarita and Oscar say she's very spoiled whenever she comes because they always wanted a girl and could never have one. Pablo and Oscar say that Margarita is very excited to finally have a girl in the house with her! Someone that likes shopping and girly things instead of only talking about ...

... the town a little more. We capped off the evening with a local dish, called Churrillana, which may be better called Poutine Chileno -- a mixture of french fries, steak, sausage and egg, that was surprisingly delicious. Tomorrow it´s off to somewhere else, but we´re not sure where yet... (Angie is hoping to get photos uploaded with these blogs, but forgot her camera cord so needs to figure out how to do it...)

... the hotel at 9 PM. And I'd been texting Diane all day, checking on what was happening with the fireworks later, and giving her updates on my escapades today. And by the way, texting is way more complicated on an international phone like this. For example, there are about 10 different "A"s available with almost every type of accent you could imagine, so if you miss the "A" that you need, you'll be pushing that button many more times to get it back ...

... make her pasta for that. Somehow back in the hostel, Ute ended up making the pasta and I did the dishes. We had a bottle of wine and some beers later and spent the rest of the night chatting on the balcony. 24/10/2008 (FRI) I woke up ...

... the Pacific Ocean, Valparaíso boasts a labyrinth of streets and cobblestone alleyways. A jumble of multi-colored clapboard homes and weathered Victorian mansions that cling to sheer cliffs. The city has 45 hills. Given the lack of towering high rises on the hillsides, the city is frequently described as "stadium seating" - providing breathtaking views no matter where you are. Valparaíso's unusual system of 100-year-old funicular ...

... dancing, some cute little balarinas, some bigger and cuter in a different way dancers and a dance troupe with a heavily pregnant lead dancer who was not able or, to be fair, slightly disposed to hide the bulge. Good on her I say, though couldnt help notice that camera activity increased exponentially during her appearance. Yes me included. I'm ...

... nuevo día. Un día claro y resplandeciente, gente caminando, haciendo deportes y disfrutando de la mañana, a pesar que hacia frío. El muelle de Vergara es una construcción antigua y emblema de la ciudad. A pocos pasos de allí también había una feria artesanal al aire libre en la cual muchos de sus kioscos ya estaban abiertos. Conducimos hasta Concon donde se puede apreciar un paisaje más natural y sorprendentes de los riscos y peñascos conjugando con el ...
