Christine's first Asado

It's Saturday evening and I've just returned from my salsa class at the YMCA. I came home to my family intently watching the TV as Chile beat Paraguay in a game of soccer 2-0!

Last night a fellow volunteer and friend had an asado at his house. Rachel (another volunteer) and myself went as well as a Chilean friend of Johnny's. We ate Churripan, chicken, rice, and beef with sides of green beans, olives, tomatoes, bread, and pickled vegetables. Yummy!

This is a picture of all four of us.

Johnny's family had a very nice house located a little further south than my house and farther up the mountain. It was a 4 story home, white painted walls, with collections of glass figurines and some African art. They had a very interesting and very large lamp. Johnny and I just had to strike a pose and make a little fun with it.

Last picture is just one of me and the host. I think we look a little like brother and sister, but I've already got the best brother in the world so he'll have to stick with just being a fun friend.

Well, tonight I am going salsa dancing with Joe (fellow volunteer) and Willian, my salsa instructor. We're going to Candela salsateca and it should be a good time!
