YESterday I went to Dichato and Tome with Sean (my friend from SCSU who up and moved to Santiago in June) and his friend Dan (also from SCSU but a different year). We took a bunch of random buses to get there. Pretty much watched the sunset over the beach. It was fantaaastic/beautiful. Had Escudo, vino, and the freshest empanadas de manchas (razorclams) ever. Can't wait to get back there too, like Lota. Theres just so much to see/do. On the way there we saw this park with a bunch of fake dinosaurs that I totally need to see.
After the beach we hung out in a house of Dan's friend in Dichato. She was really nice and excited to speak Spanglish with us.
Entonces, el dia de fiestas patrias
Well today started out kinda boring, it was hard to get going and speak Spanish, especially with Hayley around. If there is another gringo around I just lose all confidence and rely on them. But the day got better. After lunch we socialized, danced some cueca, drank some delicious ponche.
My mom, aunt, cousin, other aunt, dad, Hayley, and I were all learning to dance in my room. They taught me some more of the cueca and a while bunch of other Latin American dances that were really fun. After that, Hayley and I tried to teach them the Electric Slide and the Cha Cha slide. I have to buy some CDs down here and burn my mom those songs, she loved learning to dance them!
