San Cristobal

After we went to Santa Lucia, Manuel, Michael, Gabriel and I went up another hill called San Cristobal. First we went up the hill on a train.

And then we rode on the cable cars.

At one point we could get off, and walk around. We saw some very strange statues.

Santa Lucia

Last Thursday while we were out sight seeing, we went to a hill with a fort on it called Santa Lucia. The fort was very pretty, but we didn't get any pictures of it. We did get some pictures of the beautiful view.

The Texas Flag?

Last Thursday when we went sight seeing, we walked into a building, and what do you think we saw? Right in the middle of a display of world flags was the Texas flag. Imagine that! We decided that they couldn't put the U.S. flag because it was too detailed, so they put the Texas flag instead. Haha... Actually there was a flag that we think was supposed to represent the U.S. flag, but it only had one star and eleven stripes. Those crazy Chilenos!

Baby Shower

The Saturday after we got here, there was a tea for the ladies of the church and a surprise shower for Melissa.


Melissa received lots of nice presents for Nathanael. She even tried some on for size.


Everyone wrote a note in a card for Melissa.

And then Melissa read them.

The End

Coming Soon...

Pictures!

I could write about what we've been doing, but I'll just wait until I get my pictures uploaded. It's easier just to post pictures with captions than to write everything out. And I'm obviously lazy. Haha...

We are here!!!

Well we are all here except for Michael. His flight from Houston to Dallas was delayed, so he missed the flight from Dallas to Chile. But hopefully he will be here in the morning.

I had forgotten how much I dislike typing on Spanish computers. I can never figure out how to type certain punctuation marks. On this one it is the apostrophe. For some reason they have three symbols on one key, and I do not know how to get to the third one. Oh well. At least I am actually able to get on the internet!

So far we have not done much except talk and eat. Haha. Melissa opened up the presents we brought to her from people in the states. Nate already has lots of cute clothes!

Anyways, there is nothing really exciting to write about right now, so I guess I will stop!

I really do need a new blog...honestly

I'm going to Chile for the summer. I think that warrants a new blog, right? Now let's see if I ever post anything...
