Day 1-2
The Margheims arrived on Sunday. We were hoping to get to the airport early enough with our sign and be standing outside waiting, bur their plane got in a couple of minutes early. We then came home and they got to meet the pup. We went down to the beach, had pisco sours and cheese empanadas then went to the point off of Coquimbo, where there were pelicans, a sea lion and other birds. Then we went grocery shopping, came home and played with the dog. For dinner I made the infamous quinoa. Afterwards, we went to the hot tub. The Margheims were basically up for 40 hours, but they were troopers. While in the hot tub, Steve was able to point out some of the southern constellations.
Day 2, we got up and went on a family hike in the morning. It was a beautiful morning, sunny a little hazy probably in the upper 60s. Once we got home, Steve made us wonderful pancakes and eggs. We then got changed, and off for a relaxing day on the beach. We went to one of my favorites, Totorolillo, which is about a 30 min drive from here along the coast. The water was pretty cold, but I still braved it and went in, everyone else walked along the edge. We hung out at the beach for a couple of hours, and we all started working on our tans. We basically had the beach to ourselves! For dinner, Steve made us some terrific filets!
