Families in Valpo, Chile

From 25th December, 2008

We failed to get a confirmed meeting time with Cristian (Steph's host brother), so we met Steph and Carrie to go to my family's house for lunch. We watched "El Orfanato" in Spanish with Carlos and Andrés, and then ate with my family before rushing out tomeet Christian and his girlfriend at Steph's house. On the way out, Hernán gave Jay an envelope with a photo of him presenting model boats, with a dedication to Jay on the back. Adela said goodbye, calling him "Mijito" ...Granted, she adopts people easily, but I think they liked him :-)

We rushed to meet Christian, hung out with him and his girlfriend for a while, and thenwent to go buy our bus tickets to Santiago for the next morning and enjoy onces in Valparaíso - Completos (chilean hot dogs topped with tomatoes, mashed avocado, and mayo) with tea, a Chilean must - before returning to Viña for Bravissimo and travel preparations.

The next morning: Off to Patagonia!
Viña del Mar and Valparaíso, Chile
