Pizcolas, Basketball, and Seafood

Yes, I am writing about seafood again. Yesterday that was my plan: to do something Chilean and experience something different other than the places around the hotel.

Half way Done

We have just finished out 4th day in Chile and the time has blown by. We have been having some amazing experiences. Today, we went and did a service project for a girls "orphange" and it completely opened my eyes. The sad part is that we were not able to complete our project due to lack of...

Day 4

As I sit on the hotel couch updating this blog, I am enjoying a delightful dessert courtesy of Fragola, a Santiago gelato shop. Amaretto is the flavor of the night. While deciding which flavor to order, I sampled many including nutella, coco and limon. My taste test strategy not only...

Mis Amigos Por La Vida - theyre like really really really thin pancakes

We just finished up our halfway point here in Santiago, and one thing that has become painfully apparent to me is how absolutely blessed I am to be on a trip in a marvelous foreign country with 20 of my best friends. Granted, some people have developed tendencies to hang out with a specific...

Day 3 almost in the books

Today is day 3 of our trip and we have just finished our last speaker event of the afternoon. We had a busy schedule today starting with a speaker at Terra, a multinational internet news outlet. It was a relatively early morning, leaving the hotel at 9AM, but the early events were quite...

Day 3

Today was the busiest day we have had in Santiago. We traveled around the city to four meetings with four companies here in Chile. Of course we started the day off with delicious Chilean coffee and breakfast in the hotel before loading the bus. Our first stop was Terra, a Brazil-based internet...

Empanadas Pino

We walked to the hill of San Cristobal, where a statue of the virgin Mary is. The view was fantastic... inspiration was certainly there. But most important of all, I got to try Empanadas de Pino. It tasted like a Chilean version of Philly-Cheese-steak Sandwich: greasy, lots of onions, poor...

Day 2!

Today has been a great day so far in Santiago! Luckily, because of our schedule, we were able to explore a little more of the city, and I am loving every second of it! This morning, we all woke up bright and early to go visit the U.S. Embassy. Before we left though, we grabbed a quick bite to...
