Yesterday Ana and I went with Felipe, Bob and Andres to the Chile - New Zealand women's polo game. half the adventure was getting there - we got lost for about an hour, because they moved the match (the fields were really soggy after the downpour friday night). I didn't know anything about polo so here's the brief primer: 4 women on each team ride horses while holding a huge long mallet, with which they try to hit the ball through goalposts. each quarter is 7 minutes, and they mostly change horses after every quarter. for the goal to count, your team has to have hit the ball at least 3 times. New zealand won 10-0.
We went back for wine and cheese on Ana's rooftop, and then Ana and I went down to get dinner with Vane Gomez, another friend from the American School in Mexico, and her husband Lalo. So good to see Vane again...and she showed us their newly redone Mini Cooper.
My plan going on is to head tonight to Puerto Varas, stay there two nights, and try to get the bus-boat trip over to Bariloche in Argentina. I'm putting a couple of pictures up here that wouldn't go up on picasa:
here i'm waiting for the bus in Puente de Inca.
OK...picture uploading isn't working...so they will come later. ciao!
