Day 2 of our vacation
This morning, after a good night sleep. my mom and I (and Leyna of course) went hiking while my dad stayed home tinkering on the internet and Steve went to work. After we got home, we got ready and went to lunch downtown. We went to a quaint little outdoor restaurant-Beethoven’s. We had sandwiches, ensalada chilena and papas duquesaa (which are similar to fried mashed potato balls). We then went to La Recova, which is the local artesian shops where they have indoor and outdoor stands. Outside was a team of local musicians playing drums and dancing. We then went across the street and I finally bought Steve’s christmas present- 2 sea fishing rods and supplies. I was surprised at how well I was able to communicate with the salesman who knew no english, and I knew nothing about fishing and fishing terms. I wanted to find out where I can buy bait so I asked Donde puedo comprar comida para los pescados- I think roughly translated means where can I buy food for the fish? Which he understood and said to go to Coquimbo. He also told us a good place to go fishing. We then came home, had the dip that I made for the super bowl, and my dad and I played some ping pong. He beat me 2 games to 1. Currently he and Steve are playing, and I think the score is 1 to 1. My mom is busy trying to finish up The Good Earth for our book club Wednesday night. Tonight, we’re having steak on the barbie and I think we’ll play some games afterwards. I love having my parents here!!!!!

that is awsome, you have a ping pong table in your house (who won the game?). Your dog looks so cool a lot cooler than izzy…jk I think izzy likes me because she “talks” to me a lot when i walk up my back steps again jk
