Church Group Get-Together (4/22)

This is a picture of some friends Deb and I made at the Presbyterian Church here in Santiago. We got together for discussion and tacos. I was amazed out how friendly everyone is. (Chileans are naturally very attentive people. The culture is laid back about most things, so Chileans take time to visit and talk with their friends. They also frequently comment, saying "True. Certainly. I get it." And they are enthusiastic talkers! Conversations are fun to watch or participate in.) These friends and others from the church have really made Deb and I feel at home.

Another way this church is good for us, it gets us out of our little part of town for visits to the downtown. After church, Deb and I frequently walk a few blocks to the Plaza de Armas where we get some ice cream, sit in the park, and walk around looking at shops. It's a super pleasant Sunday afternoon activity.
