Leyna’s new friends

Posted by Lisa on January 11th, 2006 — Posted in Misc

While my friends Angie and Sean are in the states, I’m watching their 2 dogs, Townes and Cassidy. Before they left Leyna had started visiting the dogs. Since they’ve been gone, i’ve been bringing Leyna over once a day to play. In the beginning she wasn’t sure how to play and would always just show her belly. Cassidy has now taught her to play and the 2 of them run around the yard together. Townes is the more laid back of the 2, he likes to sit back, relax and be pet. So while the other ones are running around he and I chill and he gets some much needed TLC. Leyna seems to have a new mission to get Townes to play with her, which has just started to kinda work today. Usually he tells her to go away (she’s a little too hyper for him), but today they were actually chasing each other around. Leyna loves to go to their house. If she gets out, she just runs right on down. They live below us. It’s her home away from home.

Coquimbo

Posted by Lisa on January 11th, 2006 — Posted in Activities

Yesterday I had a nice outing with my friends Joanna, Jaime, Rikki and Jenny. We went to Coquimbo (yes, the infamous town where my camera got stolen) and went on a boat ride to Sea Lion Island. It only cost 1500 pesos which is a little under $3. It lasted about an hour, and was fun. I think that there was more sea lions at Isla Damas, but it was nice anyways. Afterwards we went shopping at the outdoor shops (and met a pirate, arrghhh), then went to a fabulous lunch at Costa de Costa. For only 2500 pesos (about $5) each, we got an bread, appetizer, main course, dessert and drink. They also had artwork up from a local artist whose show I went to a few moths ago and bought 2 paintings. We’re planning on going back next week and getting henna tattoo’s that should last about a week.
