Trip To Chile | 10 Day 1000 Word Challenge
by . on Oct.21, 2010, under Uncategorized
When I was five years old, I went to visit my mom’s family in Chile. We went with my family and grand-parents because it was a long time when they saw there’re family. So it was a nice two week vacation.
We visited the city of Santiago, Viña del Mar, Cisco, and Valparaiso. We stayed in a hotel, at my mom’s aunt for a few days with my mom’s cousins too. There was Ankisa (girl), Davor (boy), Neven (boy), and Axel (boy) with of course Tia Pabla (Tia means aunt). That was in a little town called Villa Macul.
When we were in the city of Cisco, we stay in a house one block away from the beach. People were selling fresh new bread in the streets, they called out ‘‘Pan Amasado!’’ (Home-made Bread!) It was delicious! (We bought some)
My grandpa’s family organized a nice outside barbeque to meet us, because the last time they saw my mom, she was only 5 years old. Everybody spoke Spanish, and very fast so I didn’t understand them. But when I was with my mom’s cousins, they spoke slowly to me and I understood.
I almost forgot to tell you that when I 
was in the plane, we could see beautiful mountains called: “La Cordillera de Los Andes”.
I visited the downtown in Santiago, there were a lot of people and it’s a busy town.
Even when if I was five, I look at the pictures (memories) and it came back to me. I hope to go back soon! And by the way, I lost a tooth over there! I got money from the ‘tooth fairy’ and also my grandmother so she can give it to me.
P.S. Almost forgot, they have the same McDonalds as us in Canada but they sold Cheese Empanadas….My favourite!!!

G’day Jane
It is your blog buddy from Australia again.
I love reading about your trip to Chile. I love family reunions, especially when you are little and everyone loves you. I want to go to Chile. Maybe we can meet up when you go again. It is really interesting that they have McDonald’s there.
What Do you think about having a McDonald’s there?

Hi!
I love your post! It’s just so interesting to read! I love how you put the Spanish words then put the English words in brackets next to the Spanish word. I would love to go to Chile, it looks so beautiful!
*Thanks!*

Hey Jane,
It is very interesting. I never went to Chile but it sounds like a beautiful place. Did you take the 2 pictures or you find it on Wikipedia.
Keep up the good work.
ps: sorry if I spelled Wikipedia wrong!
Bye

Hi sis,
I really liked that trip to Chile too. It was very fun. I hope we can go there again.
I remember one morning, I took a bowl of cearal and then I just left to go get the cearals and when I came back, there was full of ants in my bowl. That was very funny.
Those were great memories.
Keep up the good work, and continue writing like you are!
