A Sunday Stroll (10/22)

Deb and I went out with some friends after church today. We decided to do lunch and a stroll in the park. Things are feeling so warm and summer-ish. Everyone was out in shorts and sandals. Deb and I even smathered on the suntan lotion to prevent grilling. What was so cool about it was we heard all about this park, Parque O'Higgins, around the Sept. 18th holiday. Apparently the military paraded a rather large regime, complete with armed vehicles, through this park. We marched in honor of Chile too. The presidenta herself sat in the bleachers where we sat (until some military individuals asked us to leave. Oops!). While in the park we spied Fantasilandia, an amusement park as we understand amusement parks. It has everything from serious rollercoasters and freefall towers to "Evolution," a ride that spun in circles while making loops. I swear the riders were upside down more than they were upright. We will have to come back and try them sometime.
