GOOD TIMES IN CHILE!!!!
eatin churros and climbing mountains!!!(doesnt get better than that!)





this is a pic of a shield that the mapuche ( a native group to the area (indians)) gave the people of talca... or at least thats what i think my host parents were telling me... i didnt quite understand everything...hahah





this is a pic of some food that i got in the center of chile... i dont remember what its called but it kind of tastes like a fortune cookie.. n if u have never had a fortune cookie than first of all whats wrong with u and second of all i guess u wont know what these taste like!!! they also kind of have the texture of a really thin potato chip....different but good

this is the churros van!!! pretty amazing... and good










these are the churros that my host dad bought.. they pretty much taste like fried dough... good stuff!!!

Elaina, Good Morning and Happy September to you. Wow, cant even belive where you are and what you're doing. These pictures and your writings are making it realistic for me. Keep up the great work. Thanks so much for calling the other day that means alot to us. Talk to you soon.

P.S. Do they have any McDonalds, Subway or any of the such down in Chilli? That was random of me to ask, I guess I'm hungry. Love you!
