Sunday: Pueblito Los Dominicos - Artesanía Chilena

Sunday morning I met Pio at church.  This Sunday, Veronica was sick and the children all slept in. Amazingly, I think church is going to become a Sunday ritual for me.  The family goes and therefore, I think it's a nice way to start the day with them. This way, I naturally become a part of their day.  Sundays are truly a day of rest here and time spent with family.  Most businesses are closed.  After church, Pio and I went back to his house.  Negro was on the computer playing a game while the others were upstairs still lounging in bed.  I pulled up a chair next to Negro and watched him play.  This was exactly the time I wanted to spend with him.  I want him to become comfortable with me.  He created a profile for me on "Penguito" and showed me how to play. 

Bernadita and Negro's favorite place to eat is Mc Donald's.  So, the four of us went there for lunch.  Pio said, "I dispise.  I think it overpriced...and not verry good."  After Mcy D'z we went to Pueblito Los Dominicos.  It's an outdoor shopping plaza with Chilean handcrafts - furniture, paintings, leathers, antiques, sculptures, glass, jewels, stones, lamps, ceramic, etc. Since my camera battery died I took photos form my iPhone.  It was a nice, relaxing day of bonding with Pio and  Bernadita.  They all kept pointing out crafts to me and Bernadita and I walked arm-and-arm.  It was a wonderful day.
