jillian's happy birthday!!

august flew by for us.  the highlight was that aaron came to visit.  we had a great time with him.  it was so nice to see family and a familiar face!!  andy went to santiago thursday morning to meet him at the airport and then i met up with them friday night.  we went to dinner at a fun restaurant in santiago (soaking wet from the rain :))  and then on saturday we caught metros and buses to go to the cajon de maipo.  we hiked there and had a picnic etc..  then, we came back to viña where we had a birthday party for me!  chileans throw themselves birthday parties, so that's what we did.  it was very special.  thursday night we went to pucon (in the south) and hike volcan villarrica.  we snowboarded down.  it was great!!  i would post pictures, but i am having technical difficulties.
