The misterious happenings of calefonts and tire treads

As I sit here on sunday night I look back over a fun filled weekend in my home town of vina del mar. Thursday night consisted of a pre at a friends house in the center of town and then a night of clubbing followed. Friday was a rather relaxing day around the house and around the neighborhood. Saturday however proved to be on of the most adventure filled days so far here in Chile. In the morning we headed out to Con Con to try out "La Vivi" the old motor boat my dad owns that he claims was built in the 1960's and I absolutely believe him. I was amazed that we were going to put this in the water, but none the less we did. First however, we had to get to the lake which was tucked back in the hills and you had to traverse this crazy road to get there. After a wild ride somewhat similar to that of "the home slice" we made it to a friends house who let us use his property to put the boat in. So off we went cruising around this gorgeous lake in this tiny little boat. After a quick tour Fernando busted out the water skis. I had never been able to get up on skis before but somehow I managed to do it yesterday and what a cool feeling it was. Very similar to the first time I got up on a wakeboard at Masi's lake this summer. It was awesome. So we skied around for about a half an hour and then went back to the friends house for lunch. He was building a little vacation home and when I say little I mean it was tiny. For all of those who know, imagine the OLD hodge podge lodge and then take half of that. There will be a kitchen a bedroom and a small patio, and then bathroom is outside. But it looked like the perfect little getaway house on a gorgeous piece of property. After lunch we went back to the lake to do some more skiing but after gabe took a few laps the clutch on the engine broke and "La vivi" se murio. Unfortunately that meant we had to figure out a way of getting it back to the trailer. In come the rescuers, with ned paddling, gabe making sure we didnt hit anything and me swimming we made it safely to the landing and got the boat on the trailer. Not until this morning when my entire body hurt did I realize how difficult it was to pull a boat through water while swimming. We finally got the boat back on land and headed home. After a quick stop at home I went over to gabes sisters bazar to raise money for her trip to Espana. After that we went to a party and took our first late night trip the classiest mcdonalds ive ever been to. Today was another relaxing day, I had the traditional lunch with the grandparents and then took a stroll around vina with anna. A good day was had by all, and hey the Pats even won too, although I wasnt able to watch. pero es la vida. Este fin de semana fue super bakan y aprendi que no tengo que ir a lugares diferentes para tener gran aventuras.
