Happy New Year... seven days ago!
*oops*
It looks like Greg and I have been slacking. New year, new blog start? We promise to try harder from now on.
Let me start from the beginning... 12:00 am January 1st, crowded onto a balcony on the 13th story of my cousin Fernando's apartment building, on top of a hill, overlooking the coast... all 25 km of which was lit up by the most spectacular fireworks I have ever seen. We cheered with the rest of Valparaiso, then danced and sang the night away.
Sadly, our camera battery died, right before New Years, so we don't have any pictures, but, like you, we will always have Youtube. Search videos "Valparaiso Año Nuevo Fuegos Artificiales". You will not be disappointed.
Since then, it has been a blur of family and food. My family really knows how to party and they really know how to make good food, so it has been a great start to a new year. Please be impressed, I have even made it past five am more than once in the last week. My family can no longer call me "la viejita" (the little old woman). I can party like a Chilean... so long as I nap first.
Okay, that's all for now. I will write more tomorrow.
Love,
Eli

You have been slacking, kids! Come on! I need entertainment at work, you know this.
ReplyDeleteUp past five...more than once...is the same week? Highly impressive.
Sounds like such good times on the go. Get that camera battery charged, friends.
