They’re everywhere!!!!
I didn’t post yesterday, I apologize. I went hiking in the morning, then went grocery shopping in the afternoon, and then went here…
Sorry, I didn’t get a picture of the store, but yes, you are correct. I went to blockbuster. As far as I can tell, it’s the only one in town unlike in the states where they’re around every corner next to the omnipresent CVS’s. Now my card back from the states didn’t work, so I joined and am now a member here in Chile. My friend Joanna was with me, thankfully. She was able to do all the spanish speaking for me. Well really, she did everything, and I just stood there looking pretty. But I digress. We can now rent movies whenever we want. How cool. And FYI, if you’re getting homesick, this is where to go to get the good stuff. They have american candy there, plus small bags of marshmallows. hmmm. So I rented my first movie, Diarios De Motocicleta- Motorcycle Diaries. It’s in spanish, but has english subtitles. We haven’t watched it yet, but will probably tonight. It’s supposed to be great. At Blockbuster they had all the american movies plus chilean, british and other movies too. I can’t wait to watch them all…

Lisa, I love the pictures of the food/American stuff. You lay everything out so nicely. Maybe you’ll start a career in food photography!
Keep the stories coming my firend!

Just cracks me up, an American movie that’s dubbed in Spanish with English subtitles…!!!! If they have Secondhand Lion, rent it. Or maybe it’ll still be On Demand when you come home.
See you real soon.
