GOOD TIMES IN CHILE!!!!

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
