feliz día papá!

happy fathers day!

these are some pictures from our father's day here in viña. we spent the day at church, walking on the beach, calling fathers, and hanging out reading on the roof.

we are really looking forward to being able to use this roof when spring comes!

lately we have been freezing! there is no central heat here, so when it's cloudy we spend our days and nights with lots of layers and even teaching while wearing our down coats! when it rains it gets warmer and everyone says this winter is colder than normal because there's less rain.

we've been pretty sick, but thankfully we're finally feeling better. andy still has a cough, but hopefully that will be better soon too.

in andy's picture you can see the coca cola apartment building.  it gives the official time and temperature at night.

this picture was taken a couple of weekends ago after we bought our paletas. these are fun for the beach!







my school is at the end of this picture, by the three apartment towers that look similar

well, have a good week!  

chau!

los dos pelaos

we went to a going away party for some friends of our grupo casero last night. everyone "hacered una vaca" to buy food and we made fajitas! no, fajitas are not common here. in fact, we heard multiple people ask what the bowl of brown stuff was (refried beans). jillian and i have missed Mexican food, so we were so happy. here is jillian and her friend claudia. they were in the kitchen preparing the guac and other fixings. the other is a picture of me and christian. "pelao" is what they call bald people here, so everyone is always calling me and christian "los dos pelaos." he is so short that people say i look like his dad. weird, i know.
