Pictures from the beach in Mejillones (about 40 minutes north of Antofagasta)

This was a very important person, and I don't know what his position is or why he is important.  Lulú (Veronica's niece) asked him if he would be willing to take a picture with me because I was a foreigner.  Veronica didn't want her to ask  because he was on duty, but it turns out that he was more than happy to take a picture with me... So I have a picture with a high-ranking person in Chile :)  




This is the niece, Lulú, who lives in my house too.  She is a freshman at a different university in Antofagasta.  There are not dorms on the campuses here, and therefore, it seems that most students live with their immediate family or relatives.





Fran was in a bad mood during our excursion to Mejillones because he didn't want to leave the house.  The two pictures I have with him in them reflect his mood.  The only activity he joined us for was lunch at the this restaurant that we are standing in front of (which was where we enjoyed DELICIOUS seafood!)










Seals!
























A random Chilean boy that Veronica asked to be in our picture.

  1. Hmm.. let me try this again. I'm having trouble sending comments! I loved seeing the pictures. Looks like a very great place and your family seem awesome...even though Fran was in a bad mood! Hey, could you send some of that Chilean weather this direction? Talk to you soon. I'm anxious to hear about your plans for the weekend. Much! love, Mom
