Leaving Chile-Flying to Buenos today!

Hey guys,
Sorry we haven´t been updating as much as before. I think we have gotten about 9 hours of sleep in the last 3 days. The parties or discos here start at like midnight and go til 4 or 5 in the morning. But we are having a lot of fun! We´re sad to be leaving Chile today. We really love it. Yesterday we went with Gabi´s family to her grandparents´ house which is about an hour away and we rode horses. The view of the mountains was beautiful, I have never seen anything like that before. We had a BBQ with her family which consists of a lot of different steaks and sausages, it was delicious. We got back into Viña at 8 and I went with Gabi, her little brother Rodrigo and her parents to their church service. It was so cool!! They go to a Catholic church, and I am Lutheran so a lot of the prayers, songs and creeds were almost exactly the same... but in Spanish! So the church was saying them in Spanish and usually I could recognize them and say them in English. I haven´t felt that connected to a church in a long time, it was a really good feeling. They have kind of a shrine to a Saint that Chileans pray to (I can´t remember his name) outside of the church and there were hundreds of little cards on the wall and a bunch of people sitting around with candles and praying. I asked Gabi what it was for and she said that you pray to the Saint for something that you really need, like if your mom is sick you pray for her to get better, and when your prayer is answered you write what happened on the card and post it on the wall. There were hundreds of them. It was amazing. After church we came home and got ready, and went to Gabi´s friend´s brother´s birthday party, his name is Fernando. That was a lot of fun but we were so tired that we left at about 3:30 and went home instead of going to the disco. In Chile there is a preparty, the real party and usually an afterparty too. They know how to do it. Ok well I should go, we are really excited to fly to Buenos Aires today and see Rodrigo but we still need to finish packing! We have his iTouch safely in KK´s carry on! If you pray, we ask for prayers for safe travel and easy goodbyes. :(

Your ladies are almost there RoRo!
Love, EmEm (half read by KK, not sure if approved)
