Jon J. Gilson has arrived…

Posted by Lisa on April 22nd, 2006 — Posted in Activities

Today, my friend Jon came to visit for a week. I’ve been looking forward to his visit and have tons of stuff planned. Today after coming home from the airport, we went out to lunch to Tololo Beach where JOn had his first Pisco Sour. In his words “fue deliciosa”. He also atried for the first times- locos (probably his last) and reineta (a little salty). Afterwards we walked along the beach then went to Coquimbo to Cafe del Fuerte- which is the coffee shop at the tip. Today, the rock in front of the coffee shop was full of sea lions. Usually it has just birds. We then walked around the artesian markets and the fish market. We then took the 5 pm boat ride around Coquimbo. I was thinking that we may go out to dinner and to the jazz club tonight, but I’m exhausted, so I know JOn must be as well. We’ve decided to postpone it until later. Keep checking back for daily updates! Tomorrow we’re off to the telescope!

Hola, Jon, Lisa & Steve,
Isn’t LaSerena the best place to visit? And B&B Margheim has such friendly hosts. What more can you want? Looks like the weather is still wonderful. Can hardly wait for the pictures from Cerra Pachon. Hope you get to see Condors.

Looks like so much fun! Looking forward to more updates.

Maybe I’m not up on my blog lingo, but what are “locos” and “reineta” – are those fancy chilean drinks too? Sounds interesting…
