Girls Day
Today, I had a great day with some of my friends. It started off with african dance with my friend Jaime who’s the instructor, and Rikki, who kicks my ass at dance. Jaime and I then went to Coquimbo to meet our frineds Joanna and Jeanel for lunch. We had planned to go to the mexican restaurant, but it doesn’t seem that we’re meant to go. This was our second attempt at eating at this restaurant, and it was closed again. We decieded to go to Fusion, which is a wonderful restaurant owned by a canadian/chilean. We sat on the third floor surronded by windows. It was a beautiful day. Clear and sunny, and the Andes in the distance were covered in snow. Absolutely breathtaking.
After lunch, we went to the tip of Coqiumbo, and had drinks on the rocks overlooking the ocean. We watched the birds flying around, saw a sealion sunning himself, and another one playing in the water. I think the coffee shop is my new favorite place. It’s peaceful, not crowded, and beautiful. I think i’m going to try to go there more often. They had this amazing amaretto tea that I loved.
We then proceeded to a friend of a friend of Jaime’s art show. She had some amazing pictures that she had painted. I’m not much of an artist type, but they were layered and wonderful. I bought my first artwork today. I got my sister a painting as well, but now I think I may keep it for myself, sorry Karin. It’s the thought that counts!
