Picture this-

It’s chilly here in Chile. Temperatures are low and you feel it more than in the US because Chileans homes don’t have central heating. Rain is pitter pattering on the window and outside it’s gloomy and grey.

But inside our little love nest S. and I are cozy. I am sitting on front of the space heater wrapped in a fuzzy, green fleece blanket. The television is on and we are watching none other than my favorite sport ever, soccer. The game is thrilling and close between two fantasticly skilled teams, just how I like to see el Jogo Bonito played.

I’m sipping a glass of bubbly and feeling the buzz. Hmmm, looking back, maybe that’s why I was feeling all warm inside, maybe it wasn’t just my good mood. S. is in the chair behind me, kindly giving me a back rub and I’m so relaxed that my arms, like wet noodles, are barely even able to hold the glass of champagne.

People, this might just be heaven on earth.

Here’s what we did after the game…get your minds out of the gutter…we took a nap! (note, this image has been uploaded on my Flickr which you are more than welcome to check out. If you’re on Flickr please add me as a contact! But please do not mention this blog. Thanks!)
