Running To-and-Fro

Aug 6 Friday - Another long day doing errands.


We started at 8:30am going to Papudo with a friend of mom Margarita. In Papudo, we were told we needed to go to La Ligua to do step 2 of my Temporary Residence papers. To La Ligua we went by micro-bus, arrived and walked to the International Police station. Here, two happy persons took care of my paperwork (so cold inside the office!). Then, I was told to take my papers to the town of Quillota for further processing.


My oh my, another town! I decided to go some other day before my 30 days were up.


Mom Margarita and I took a coach bus from La Ligua to Vina del Mar. We needed to purchase the birthday items because my little brother Matias will turn 13 years old on Sunday. However, mom decided to have the party on Saturday. CARRETE!!


Shopping at the mall would be too expensive, we only went there to eat some lunch and because mom wanted me to know where it was, just in case I want to come some day. After lunch we went to the JUMBO and Easy stores (these are a version of Walmart and Home Depot). Hours turned into long hours shopping for groceries, gifts, and other items.


Mom Margarita called a friend, who drives a small station wagon car for a living, so we could go back home with all those packages we had. Marcelo came at about 7pm.
The trip back was comfortable and interesting as we all chatted about things in general. Two hours later we were home again.


As our entire family pitched in to bring the groceries, we were invited by the upstair friend 9sandra) of mom Margarita for some dinner. After a short relaxing time, mom and I went up to Sandra's. I met Luzmari, Ramiro, and of course Sandra. We had such good conversation, ate a scrumptious meal, and had different wines. (Chile is known around the world for its natural processed wines of excellent quality). UMMMMM...
