Wow, we sure have had a crazy last couple of weeks. 2 Saturdays ago we got locked out of the main gate and secretly snuck in over the reja! I thought for sure we'd get caught, and the skirt and flip flops weren't helping matters much.
Last weekend we went down to the beach to check things out for my parent's and Emily's visit. We stayed at a beautiful old colonial home where the matron rented rooms for 10 dollars a person. We were quite excited about our great find until we realized that the owner was certifiably crazy in no uncertain terms. She wanted to spend all our time we were visiting the town there with US! She gave us a tour of her garden, tightly grasping my hand as she explained that she was evangelical, but that was ok, because we were still all brothers, even though some of us did worship idols... The best part was when she busted out her own rendition of an old hymn in her front parlor. Never a dull moment in Chile!
We're working with the sisters right now on figuring out when our last day at the home will be, and are hoping to be able to stay working with the kids through February. Then it's off to do some traveling in the South of Chile, and after that some Spanish classes to beef up the grammar side of things now that we've got lots of conversation time under our belts.
