Our first excursion on our own was a bike trip to the next beach town to the north. We rented bicicletas and rode along the coast to Renaca. What a beautiful ride, the pictures really do not do this place justice. I wish you could all come down here and check it out! We have been doing dance classes a few times a week to learn La Cueca, a traditional Chilean dance, that imitates roosters dancing, because next week is Chilean independence and it is a huge party and people dance la cueca in the streets. We will now be adequately prepared....well maybe, ha-ha right now we all look pretty ridiculous doing this dance. The weather seems to be warming up some, we can survive without the propane heater. It is supposed to be close to 75 this weekend yay, but still about 40 at night, que frio!!!I just set up a Skype account, QUE BACAN! that's how cool in Spanish. I love Skype already, it is so cheap and you can call cell phones, land lines and computers, who knew!! right now we are in the process of planning a trip this weekend. It look slike we can rent a car for about $30 a day, so with 4 of us, very cheap. We would drive to Santiago and then on to the mountains, ski a day and then just explore until Wednesday. We need to be here then because that is the big party for independence day!
