They’re here!!!
My parents arrived here safe and sound yesterday. I’m so excited they are here. They will be spending the next 3 weeks with us. We had a wonderful first day. After eating a quick bite at home and meeting the pup (who they LOVE!), we went off to the beach for their first pisco sours. We sat outside a restaurant relaxed, chatted, drank and people watched. Afterwards, we drove to Coquimbo and went to the fort at the tip of the island that has been made into a cafe. We sat outside watched the birds, sea lions and boats, and drank some Cabernet Sauvignon from the Limari Valley. It was a beautiful day, in the 70’s and sunny, and everyone got some color. We then went grocery shopping, came home took naps, did Christmas in February (I got a great exercise outfit, some non parels from Munsons, a yankee hat, a magazine subscription, some clothes, some more of my polish pottery for my collection and this neat light up turning thingy with a piece of carved glass that spins) barbecued, drank more wine, watched the game and went to bed. Today, I’m waiting for the lazy bums to get up, then my mom and I are going to go hiking with Leyna, then I think we’re going to plan out the next 3 weeks and probably go out for lunch. I’ll keep you updated!
Mom and dads first pisco sour, many more to come…
Mom’s feet are in the Pacific!!!!
Driving around the hills of Coquimbo we came across a funeral procession on foot, pulling the casket along with the mourners following behind, sad but beautiful…
The house after our christmas, Leyna still loves the wrapping paper…

Lisa-
Glad to hear that Tom and Bernadette made it down there safely. I guess we’re both having family visit this month-my parents and Jonathan are coming in two weeks-cannot wait! Tell everyone I said hello and cannot wait to hear what you all do together.
Love,
Danielle
