"i wear DAB by J-LO"

I've been back from patagonia for over a week now & I still have yet to say anything about my trip!

because there is so MUCH to say,

I think I'll just give you all a little peak for now

& I'll have to wait until I get back to the EEUU to blog about my adventure.

{I just don't have enough time left here}

El Ritual

Almirante Montt 48 


Valparaíso, Chile 

{next, we went to the base of cerro concepción for ponche (chopped up fruit blended up with white wine).}

{I’d recommend visiting el ritual for a dirty, ‘scene’ & local atmosphere. before stopping in for pitcher of ponche & tasty finger foods, be prepared for the obscure local art, the house cat lurking around the tables, and the armless, life-size mosaic women staring you down as you order your drink. with lively music and a quick & pleasant staff, you’ll arrive without any intention of going someplace else.}

{hah. look at the creepy man sticking his tongue out behind us!}

{mmm! slurped down our drinks & then went to the guys dpto.}

round 1.

{14 de noviembre de 2009}

two weeks ago, wesli & i went out for girls night...

but then we decided that girls night would be better with the boys

~*~

yesterday, all of us gringos got together with our host families to celebrate thanksgiving (pictures to be posted later this week). although we didn't have pumpkin pie, my mom's organic stuffing or cranberries, I definitely wasn't the least bit disappointed. I was thankful to be celebrating the holiday with such great friends and 'family.' after the feast, wesli came over for a sleepover. we stayed up giggling at the pictures from our last girls night & I'm super excited because later tonight we're having round 2 of charades.

{girls vs boys}

johan: pajaro & canguro

carlos: flamenco & tortuga

I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving & were able to spend it with those you love.
{i'll make sure to capture us girls winning this next time around}
