Santiago Social Life in Pictures

Read on

September 29, 2008

Here’s a quick catch up on some of the pictures I never got around to posting from our trip to the beach with Emily and Rodolfo, plus Tamsin’s bachelorette party!

Also, if you haven’t seen our group posting on “What Chileans Think of Gringos,” you should definitely do so. Including myself there were 15 participants, and a lot of the posts were just added today. So if you haven’t checked since Friday you might be missing out.

Beach.

I love this life.

So do Emily and Lola.

Papito, not so much. Actually I’m totally kidding. This photo makes her look like a victim, but she was not. She was actually the bitch of house. Lola is bigger than her but Papito knows how to play mind games. At one point on the actual beach, Lola was having so much fun digging a huge hole in the sand. Then she stopped and started chasing Papito’s tail. Papito got pissed off and stole Lola’s hole for revenge. My puppy is slightly evil. Oh, and in this picture, they’re playing a game called, “Bite face,” with each other. They’re not fighting, I swear!

Bachelorette Party.

The penis straws and penis candle were my doing. :)

We all pitched in to buy Tamsin some lingerie. I spent three hours running around Santiago trying to find anything that could be considered at all sexy (and not made out of polyester). It was a futile search, but in the end I think her future husband won’t care too much.

Seriously, who doesn’t love Pina Coladas and chocolate penises?

It was a really fun girls’ night out!

  3. I love the pics from the beach, the dogs look so cute!! And that last pic of Papito is great!! Hey, I was wondering if you would be willing to take some pics of Rodrigo and I,to put up at our wedding in the US next August, and possibly one of us and Zoe for Christmas cards (that would be my most favorite lame tradition my family has) I haven’t talked Ro into it yet, but I’m working on it. He’s so stubborn!

  4. Aww, my Lola is so cute :) And Papito can definitely fend for herself, she’s a sneaky little one! Face biting is the BEST GAME EVER, I’m pretty sure they could play it all day every day.

  5. speaking of play penises i was just thinking a great expat interview would be to interview this 20-something gringa who sells sex toys for a living in chile. i saw her once on chilean tv. i will try to find her online so i can pass her name along to you.
    i wish i could have made it to the coast on my trip! we were supposed to go to iquique but we didn’t have time :(
    cool pics. i love the one of the dogs. they don’t look like they are fighting. i think they definitely have that playful look.

  6. ok that was quick, here is an interview http://www.paula.cl/blog/hot/2007/12/26/japijane/ and her site is http://www.japijane.cl

  7. Kathleen, she’s actually in Chilespouses!!! The ladies host Japijane parties quite often :) I sent out an email to all of them asking if anyone would be willing to be interviewed and she wasn’t one of the ones who responded, but maybe I’ll try again!

    Hey Shannon, I charge 50,000 for a session and afterwards give the pics on a CD (usually around 35 retouched photos, sometimes a little more) so you can print them and make Christmas cards or do whatever you’d like with them.

  8. Enjoyed the pics. I love having met many of your friends in person when I was there in June, it makes the pics that much more fun to have actually met them. Love that last pic of Papito. Hey, why do Papito’s eyes remind me of my brother Mark’s eyes? (Sorry, didn’t mean that to be a slam to Papiot!)
