Our Weekend
Friday night, I went out with my friends Joanna, Jenny and her son Xavier, Amy and her daughter Katherine, and Stella. We went to see Ruso Sobre Hielo- which is Russia on ice. Basically it was an icecapades in the parking lot of one of our biggest grocery stores. They did a little bit of everything- disney movie takeoffs- The Little Mermaid and Tarzan, and they even did a magic show and sawed a lady in half (how do they do that?!?) We had a ton of fun, and then went out to dinner to a chinese restaurant- well chilean/chinese, but still, the food was good and was something a little different!
On Saturday we went on a field trip with 30 of our friends and went to Hacienda Santa Cristina, which is a redone 1920’s resort type thing, with a couple of restaurants, beautiful grounds, and rooms. We were greeted at the door with pisco sours and white wine with chiromoya. We then had a lovely table full of different types of goat cheese and crackers and spreads, then outside there was a wine tasting from the local Tamaya vineyard. While all this was going on, they continued on passing out the alcohol along with some hors d’ouveres. We then sat down for a terrific meal of course served with Tamaya wine, then we about 10 of us went off to watch the World Cup on the big screen TV while others continued on with the wine and cheese, some went horseback riding, and some wandered around the property. It was a beautiful day!
Sunday, Steve grilled up some terrific filet and we brought it to our friends- Rikki and Chris’s house. Where we watched some more World Cup and snacked on steak and wings. We then came home, relaxed, cleaned and tortured the puppy as usual.

Pool’s almost ready for swimming. Filled with water (thanks to the Grady’s; only have to start the pump and turn the clorinator on. Could be swimming this weekend….. then we’ll have fun weekends too. Miss seeing you at the pool but Izzy’s doing a great imitation laying in the sun on the cement.
