Maitencillo

Even though I didnt get to go to Buenas Aires I still had a great weekend. Thank you havi for inviting me to your aunts cabin. I had a really nice weekend. On friday we took the bus to my friends aunts beach house in Maitencillo (the same place my chilean parents have their house). On our way up to Maitencillo we my a day trip to Valle Hermosa (beautiful valley). Valle hermosa is surrounded by beautiful valleys and is the capital of sweaters of South America. The town was a mile long street of stores selling sweaters, a whole lot of sweaters. They had some really great sweaters, they are made with Alpaca material. I bought a couple. They had some beautiful sweaters and summer dresses for girls. That reminds me, I am having a hard time with gift ideas. I could really use some input. Dresses, scarfs, jewelry, sweaters, mittens, hats, shoes, cigarettes, wine, and other stuff is really cheap down here. Give me some ideas amigas y amigos. Anyway, We got to the beach house that night and Havi made us a great meal for dinner with beer and wine. That night we went to the beach and jumped around on the rocks as the waves crashed and the stars lit the sky. The next day we woke up and went back to the beach. I collected a bag full of seashells. She sells sea shells by the sea shore. Say it ten times fast. Saturday night we got back to Vina.We drove to Valparaiso Saturday night to go party. It was an interesting night. I saw my pilates teacher there. And these girls came up and started taking pictures with me. At first I thought they were taking pictures so I moved out of the way, but they followed me and jumped beside me to take more photos. Yeah im a rockstar. On sunday I just chilled out and watched movies and had a lazy day. Pretty good weekend aside from getting trapped in the Andes. Argentina Im not giving up on you.
