Hola to my most amiable readers!We just returned from a wonderful vacation to the sunny north of Chile. We needed to go to Santiago to go to the embassy to get Reuben's paperwork filed, so decided to make a fun road trip out of it. First stop was Chillan, a beautiful ski area where we rented a cabana and enjoyed the mountain views and the acclaimed street market. Then we headed north to Santiago, visiting the embassy to do paperwork and enjoying the urban landscape. What architecture!!! Leaving Santiago we enjoyed endless miles of vineyards in the thick of wine country. I could just feel my soggy Puerto Montt lungs drying out, and my feet were quite happy to be in flip-flops again. (For those who don't know, Puerto Montt is like Seattle in rainfall, and in general makes one feel like a living sponge.) Heading further north we poked around Vina del Mar and Valparaiso, admiring the stunning beaches and towering buildings. From there we headed down to Pichilemu, a surfer's heaven, where the waves hit 25 feet high during our visit. From there we found an awesome cabana...hammocks everywhere, beautiful plants and flowers, fountains, pools, and cheerful proprietors. What a trip!

Reuben looks so alert already! Such a cutie!
Santiago is one of those places I've been intrigued to visit, especially since you guys have moved to Chile! Do you have any pictures of it?
Hey Jessica, yes, on my facebook there's tons of pictures : ).
So Cute! So, who's the bologna in that sandwich? I seem to recall Dustin being full of "bologn-ie" in his younger days. Hee, hee. Just my dorky way of attempting humor.
Your kids are always looking cute and full of fun!
