Day in the country and night with my cousin

Saturday was an interesting and fun day. I went with my "mom and dad" to the Chilean countryside to hang out with my "dad's" GSE team from last year at one of their parent's house. We had some AMAZING food! Lots of fresh veggies and meat for lunch and fresh papaya and ice cream for dessert. Yum! We sat around the table and talked about lots of different subjects and most of the time I just listened, understanding about 65% of what was said. I will catch on to this Chilean accent soon!

That night, I met up with my cousin Joe and his girlfriend Ashley for dinner. I felt like a little kid because my "parents" dropped me off and picked me up. Too cute. After a long day listening to Spanish, it was nice to converse with them in English. I'm so glad that we got to get together south of the equator. Today my family and I are going back to the countryside to visit the vineyard that my "mom's" sister and brother-in-law own.

The weather is once again beautiful and sun-shiny and unseasonably warm.
