What the world needs now, is love, sweet love

Things have continued to be interesting here in Chile - Jody and I went to Belloto for part of the YSA conference. It was another dance, which is always an interesting sight. But we met up with some friends from the ward and we had fun!



Here we are with two friends Pancha (Fransisca) and Nataly. This other picture is with the ward plus some extra friends. Yes, there was another gringa in the group. You had to feel bad for the whole group - they were so tired from a week of playing on the beach and having fun together! Jody and I spent the night there with them (on a hard, ceramic tile floor, I might add - at least we had a sleeping bag...) and then left the next day for the beach. Victor, our ride/guide took us to Valparaiso, a port city not too far from Belloto and ViƱa del Mar.






There we saw some interesting sites such as this:


Everyone was getting pictures by this guard guy. So of course I had to go along with it.





This is Pablo Neruda's house, a famous Chilean poet who won the Nobel Prize for literature. He was also a very good politician and ambassador. However, he was an awful husband who cheated on his wife. Our good friend Victor took us all over the place. It was a tranquilo Valentine's day.
