Yesterday Scott came to town to see off Jen, an intern at the NGO he´s working for. We tracked down some wine for her to bring to her parents, and spoke of peanut butter (really expensive here) and lemonade (haven´t seen it, but I´m a fan of the peach and apricot juices. Although they´re heavier, like every food Chilean). After eating dinner at Roberto´s parents house, Scott and I with Dan went off in search of adventure and landed in this great little cafe (Cafetto) off Providencia and Pedro de Valdivia, where we gorged on crepes with manjar ad chocolate and a chocolate and manjar cake. Then we walked to Suicia, which really is like a freakish adult Disneyland (there was someone dressed like Fred trying to lure people into Bedrock. No horses outside Mr. Ed´s.) though much less entertaining. It is however, home to the 24 hour Empanadarium.
Which Scott and I went to this evening to celebrate his buying of business-y shoes, and we dripped grease off empanadas, then topped them off with ice cream at another cute little cafe place (though I shot wistful glances at those manjar filled Dunkin Donuts donuts on the way).
I had no idea that Yo la Tengo was....well, what it is. Beta Band and Jim Black (well not actually either but its what comes to mind) with a CD cover that reminds me of the Pat Methany Band even though that it isn´t. a new cultural thing every day.
