So many things!!

Well let's see since the last post we have been still settling into the house and getting ready for Christmas, which has totally sneaked up on us this year.

We have had a trip to Santiago for an extra long weekend Fri-Mon. It was a good break away and great to see somewhere else in Chile and not just Antofagasta. We went to the Zoo with Alyssa- she loved it and also went into the centre of town. We should have taken the stroller though as she got very tired out and shopping was not at all like we had planned.





Sebastian's work had their family Christmas party which Alyssa enjoyed- although a daytime event may have been a little easier on us all.





We went down to the beach area yesterday and Alyssa had a little ride on her bike. She loved it. It was the Presidential election here and so nothing was open really so the beach ended up Packed in the afternoon, thankfully we went in the morning.




We are getting into the Christmas spirit and decorating the house. I have some things on the way back to Oz for presents but did not post them from here as it was WAY too expensive!!! more then from Oz to here. So a friend is heading back there and is going to post them for me. Hopefully some things get to people before Christmas Day.





I have been feeling very isolated lately and I think a lot of the issue is I don't have things happening like I did in Oz. I was busy with my sewing business and Alyssa also had one day at daycare and swimming on Saturdays. Now I have no business and Alyssa is in no activities, I am sure she gets bored too. I am getting to some Expat activites but they are not all the time

Well that is all I can think of to update at this stage.
