Today I ventured outside of my comfortable and luxurious apartment to a little part of the city called Los Dominicos. It was like something out of Disneyworld. It's this lovely little Artesian village inside of an old church. If you are anything like me, you are thinking, isn't that sort of a bad idea, selling stuff in a church. While it sounds less than glorifying to God, it is really sweet. The shops are cute and the people are kind. There was a pet store which is actually just a large cage selling chickens. I tried not to think about it too much, but it was a bit unnerving watching the cage while eating my chicken filled lunch. There were also lots of cats wondering the premises which was a bit unnerving as well. These restaurants would definitely be closed down in the states due to the wandering animals, but once again, I try not to think about it.
I bought some great things and was able to find Zach's birthday present and a gift for Evey. I'm sure you are all dying to know what I purchased, but it would ruin the surprise. Rest assured, they are glorifying to the Lord.
Pictures will be following, but my computer refuses to connect to the internet so until I become savvy enough to fix that, you will have to endure my words only.
A very nice perk of living in Santiago during February (aside from the weather) is very little attention is paid to Saint Valentine's Day so I am not continuously tempted by the sweet treats of Hershey's or the cards of Hallmark. I am really jonesing for some cookies though.
