food truck festival

There was a food truck festival this past weekend in Santiago so I decided to check it out. I went on Friday and there were no lines at all. And there was also so much space for you to walk around and sit at the tables. Sunday was a whole different story. There was even a line just to get IN the event and the lines for the food trucks were soon long!!! But, I was able to hang out with some friends and meet new ones so overall it was nice.

quick reunion

A friend of mine had a very short trip to Santiago for a competition. It had been 9 years since we saw each other. The last time was when we were studying abroad in South Africa. We didn't have much time to catch up but it was great to exchange stories on what we have been doing the past 9 years. I wish you the best of luck and it was great to catch up again.

cooking and skateboarding

The weekend was packed with lots of delicious cooking and skateboarding on the closed roads. In Santiago they close the roads every sunday from 9am-2pm so that people can ride their bikes, roller blade, run, or skateboard on the empty roads. A friend let me borrow his skateboard so I was FINALLY able to take advantage of the closed roads. It was so nice to be on the board again. And the food, wow! Everything was so good. It was good to be able to do some exercise after all the delicious foods!

snowboarding in the andes

Couchsurfing Santiago had a ski/snowboard trip package set up for yesterday. The deal was wonderful. It included transportation from Santiago to the mountains and back, lift ticket, equipment, and lunch. The day was GORGEOUS!!!!! I have never snowboarded in such a beautiful place. The Andes mountains were a beautiful backdrop and the snow along with the blue skies were amazing!!!! I had such a great time!! It has been 3.5 years since I have snowboarded (in South Korea) and I didn't fall!!!! Thank goodness for my balance!!
