Pichilemu and a foreign accent

Yes, it took me until the end of the weekend before I could pronounce it to, but its easier once I saw the name of the country hidden in the word (Pi – chile – mu). Pichilemu is a costal town about 2 1/2 hours southwest of Santiago. We went with friends who have a house there. It was cold, but we had great fun and the company was muy bueno.




If the house had been any closer to the water our beds would have been wet. It was small and cozy, and there was a fantastic restaurant called Costa Luna within walking distance. Was it the food, Amaretto, or the warm fire they had going that I liked best?

We walked the beach and collected seashells. Pichilemu is a big surfer resort, and despite the cold, there was many a Chileno riding the waves. Burrrr.



On another note, Sarafina has perfected a darling new accent. We knew the girls would be the first. Her close school friend (Needia) has worn off on her. It should be noted, however, that Needia is from England. So yes, our daughter now speaks perfect Queen's English. Smashing.
