Today I woke up late and didn’t have a chance to run because
we had to leave the cabana before noon. I helped pack up the car and put all
the food in the cooler, and then Monse, Laurie, and I played escoba for a while
to help Laurie learn how to play. Then we all piled into the car and drove for
like 2 hours to this German village in the south where they were having their
annual bierfest. We parked the car and walked around the artisan fair, played
on the jungle gym equipment, walked through the nearby gardens, and tried some
weird flavored beers (like chocolate and lucuma flavor).
Later, we all sat down
in the restaurant and had German food. Monse and I shared a roasted chicken
breast, while the rest of them got more exotic and scary looking dishes of
meat. Then, while Nancy was out buying German food from the little store they
had, Tata bought us all soft serve ice cream. Then we all got back in the car
and drove all the way back to Talca. It was like a 3 hour drive and the entire
time we watched this Mexican telenovela. It was honestly really dumb and
dramatic but I got pretty into it. We got to Talca, quickly dropped Abueli off
at her house (she’s Eric’s mom), and then went back to our grandparents’ house
to pack up all our stuff. We left in about an hour for Rancagua (the
grandparents came with us because they had doctors’ appointments in Santiago in
the morning) and arrived around 9. I helped Nancy unpack the cooler and then
make dinner—chancho en piedra (which is tomatoes crushed up with a mortar and
pestle and mixed with garlic, salt, and oil. After we ate, I talked to my
friends on Facebook for a while—my phone wasn’t working and I’m going to have
to go fix it—and went to sleep.
