Cara and Joel have landed!!!!!

Posted by Lisa on July 23rd, 2006 — Posted in Activities

Cara and Joel came in today at 1100 this morning. After picking them up at the airport, we brought them home to meet the pup and see the house. We then went to Leider- which is a big grocery store to pick up some things. Then we headed off to lunch at Backulic- for their first official pisco sour (or 3) and good fish. After a terrific meal, we strolled along the beach, felt the chilly water and relaxed. Afterwards, we headed to Coquimbo, drove around, and then went to the point- where we watched the birds, the sea lions and went for a brief hike. Unfortunately, during our walk around, Cara apparently was holding hands with a cactus and had prickers in her palm that we need to pluck out. Cara got to enjoy her first nescafe con leche con un poco de azucar. Normally, she doesn’t drink coffee, but this ended up tasting like hot coffee ice cream. Tonight, we played cards had wine and cheese and hung out. Check back tomorrow, to see what we will do…
