This weekend I went to Isla Negra, a small coast town about 90 miles west of Santiago. I technically went there to work on a "school project," but a lot of fun was had as well! :) We played pictionary at our hostel, learned how to salsa dance, and even danced the cueca (Chile's national dance).
Photo 1: Neruda's house. We took a tour on Saturday afternoon. It was incredible! Two down, one to go.

Photo 2: My attempt at an "artistic shot" of the beach. Maybe I should leave these to Liz.

Photo 3: El Grupo :)

Photo 4: Pia and Fran, our new Chilean friends. Pia and Fran's mom owned the hostel we stayed at Saturday night. The next morning they gave us a tour of Isla Negra. They also played pictionary with us. Too bad I was terrible!

Photo 6: Devyn in front of La Nave Imaginaria. A local artist/ architect, who refers to himself as "El Capitan," gave us a tour of his home. It was incredible! He built the entire thing himself and currently lives in el barco with his three year old son.

Photo 7: Another "artistic shot" out one of the windows of La Nave Imaginaria. El Capitan used recycled materials to build his home. Unfortunately, that means he consumed most of the alcohol that used to fill those bottles. haha
