FROM CHILE!!!!

Hey ganga,
Este es KK y EmEm, writing from Gabi´s house in Chile! First of all... wow. The house is huge and has an amazing view of the Pacific Ocean! Everyone look up Reñaca Beach, which is the view that we have... not to rub it in or anything :). We´ve had two meals with the fam so far. They are so nice. We had sopapillas, which is a chilean ¨rainy day food¨. Gabi is sick right now so we´ve been hanging with her parents and older brother. She has a younger brother also, but he is very shy... especially about speaking English. Her mother doesn´t speak any English at all, her father speaks a little and her older brother went to Australia for a year so his English is pretty good! Well we should go but there is time for one little tidbit. When you are leaving the airport in Chile there are about 20 people waiting to get Taxi´s for you /try to throw your bags on a rolling cart and then harass you until you tip them... even if they really didn´t do anything. EmEm stood her ground but KK was a big sucker!!!! She only lost 1000 pesos though, which is $2. Ok goodnight!
Love, KK and EmEm

Glad you stood your ground Em - must have been all those years learning how to be assertive in Karate.
