Guapo es mi mejor amigo.

I have a new best friend in Chile. Thanks to Robyn we now call him Guapo (though today I thought about changing it to Sucio which means dirty). Guapo always hangs out near our place in front of the Gato Tuerte, a tourist place with shops and a restaurant. He's really friendly and gets excited whenever he sees me. He trots over to me, wags his tail, and rolls on his back so I can rub his belly. I want to take him home sooooo bad! I love him! We haven't seen him the last couple days but when we went out tonight he came wandering up the hill and we were all happy to see each other. He even put out his paw for me to shake. I didn't even know he knew how to do tricks. I'm not sure if he belongs to someone or if he's a stray but he's super friendly.

This weekend was the International Day of the Woman in Plaza Sotomeyer. We went down to check it out and ended up watching a cool rap show. It was actually a rap group for kids but we enjoyed it nonetheless. The beats were pretty catchy and the dancing was impressive. We're not really sure what they were rapping about but we enjoyed watching and listening. The kids there liked it too because most of them were dancing around in front of the stage. It was fun to watch.

Here's a video of the group performing. I think they're singing about a lost dog but I'm not sure.


Jeff and I discovered a new food called Choripan. It's actually a sausage/hot dog thing but it's delicious! When we first saw a lady cooking it we thought they were real hot dogs. They have people in the parks that have portable grills and they cook choripan along with meat on sticks and sell them. It's only $600 pesos for the choripan which they put in a delicious bun and they provide ketchup, mayo, mustard, and hot sauce to put on it. It's quite tasty and and reminds me of hot dogs at home. A cheap, delicious lunch. Mmmmm.
