El fin de semana en la playa/The Weekend at the Beach

This past weekend, we went to Valparaiso and Viña del Mar, and a few of our group went to Quintay to go scuba diving. We had a tour of Valparaiso with our favorite tour guides, Augustin and Pablo, and we saw a lot of excellent views. It´s a city in the hills; there are many colored houses and elevators and a lot of graffiti drawings on the buildings. We visited the house of a French artist and walked throughout the city. In Viña del Mar, we had the opportunity to visit a botanical garden and take a canopy tour by way of a zipline.

Comida Chilena/Chilean Food
A popular food in Santiago is the hot dog, especially what they call Italians. These hot dogs have tomatoes, mayonaise, and avocado. A lot of the host families give us Italians for dinner, and there are also many places where you can buy them to eat. It´s different, but very good!
La otra comida en Chile es muy buena. Comemos muchas verduras y frutas. ¡Las frutas son deliciosas! Hay muchas duraznos, demascos, ciruelas, pomelos y mucho màs. El fin de semana pasado, el grupo probamos el pastel de choclo, cual es un plato con muchos estratos. El primer es choclo y despuès hay pollo y bistec, un huevo y aceitunas. Es muy diferente, pero muy rico. ¡Estamos disfrutando la comida nueva!
The other food in Chile es very good. We eat a lot of vegetables and fruit. The fruit is delicious! There are many peaches, nectarines, plums, grapefruit, and much more. Last weekend, the group tried "Pastel de Choclo" (Corn Cake); it´s a dish with a lot of layers. The first is corn and next it´s chicken and beef, egg, and olives. It´s very different, but very good. We´re enjoying the new food!
La Gente Chilena/The Chilean People
The people here in Chile are ery different from any other country we`ve visited. Ever since our first moments in this place, we`ve felt welcomed. Our host families have been very friendly and generous, welcoming us with kisses and hugs. Even the people in the streets are friendly. Our first day, a girl in a restaurant helped one of us order her food, and at the same time another woman offered her exact change to pay for the lunch, for example. We have enjoyed eery minute, and we appreciate all of the friendly actions.
