THE JONES FAMILY IS IN CHILE!!!!!
...and I am 100% sure that they are LOVING it. I'm thinking that since our last vacay to the beach was cancelled, we should make up for it by all traveling together to Chile in January (when it is summer here) and heading back to Alabama as usual for summer in the USA. Good? Okay deal.
The weather has been absolutely PERFECT for the last three days and Matt, Kim, and Randy have seen Vina at its very best. I'm not going to type out the history of their trip because so far its been action packed and is story-licious BUT I will say its been great- places, people, food...they're getting a taste of it all.
Tonight I decided to come home and eat with my family since I hadn't really seen them in a few days. I walked in the door after coming home from Simone's dance recital and the fam was sitting at the table eating dinner...COMPLETOS! We have NEVER had completos for dinner, but as usual when Patricio comes home we eat some sort of delicious and unhealthy food.
completo- an extra long hotdog with a better than usual bun, topped with chopped fresh tomato, avocado, and mayo
yes, I still hate mayo but Priscilla insisted that I put mayo on the completo since it wasn't just the usual Hellman's...it was homemade. She was right- it was very very good.
After dinner I gave a few gifts from Peggy to Priscilla, Patricio, Balti, and Octavia. They all loved the gifts a LOT and we enjoyed a few games of Spongebob Dominoes after dinner with Balti's prize. He loves them! And mom: he even loved the Bottle Caps candy...I think Priscilla loves them, too :)
Finals are coming up and school is winding down. This is so weird!
We have seventeen days left and I plan to spend about 14 of those days laying on the beach doing nothing but getting sun and relaxing. After all...I should soak up the sun while I can....I cannot believe its winter in Texas already! (winter schminter, I guess it cant be that cold)
Later,
Lesley
