Bagpipes!

The kids and I pulled out the dry erase board and brainstormed all the things we wanted to do while Dano was out of town. It's quite ambitious - especially this weekend; catch some shows from the International Festival of Puppets, go to a play with school friends, eat lots of pancakes, fly kites, etc.

We kicked off Friday night with our favorite Bogarín smoothies down the hill. Then we went to an art opening down the street. The Gata Ferrari gallery owners are friends and also some of my English students. It was an exhibit by Chilean students from the entire country about their thoughts on their rights, sponsored by the European Union and UNICEF. Interesting. I also did some good networking with a group with whom I've been wanting to do some volunteer work.

Then, on our way home we ran into a group of bagpipes and drums! A group of 20 men and women dressed in like goat herders from the Swiss Alps, playing music in the park. Very random. I love this town.
