Playing Guide
This past weekend, I was able to play Guide to a group of skiiers from California, one of whom was the aunt of a very good friend of mine. On Saturday, we met up for a very good (although a bit expensive) dinner show with folkloric dances (they treated me, but I felt a bit guilty because I didn´t know how expensive it would be), and Sunday we went to the pre-colombian art musuem and the plaza downtown. At lunchtime, I escorted them through the metro and short bus ride to one of the malls in Santiago so they could get some last minute shopping done before heading out a few hours later.I feel so lucky to be able to have experiences like that, even if they are only for a few hours long, in order to be able to share a bit of what I am learning while down here. Although not as extensive as a guide book, I hope I was able to make their short time in Santiago a bit more personal and more insightful than it might have been had I not been able to show them around a bit.
