Ok, well first of all, I'm done with school!!! Yeah Christmas break!! And before you complain, remember that I started 2 (Mom and ?Abby?) to 6 (Olivia) weeks before you did-- August 1. So you really have to wait at LEAST 2 weeks to complain, and by then most of you will be about done as well. ;-)
Anyway. I decided that since it was my last couple weeks here, I would be more liberal in my alfajor and kuchen buying. Kuchen is a German pastry that is super popular in Chile... its like apple pie but with a thicker, sweeter crust and less apples. You can buy a small square of it in just about any bakery, and there are lots of bakeries here. Alfajores are basically two cookies sandwiched together with manjar (like dulce de leche) in between, coated in chocolate, and often with sprinkles on top. Well, today I discovered flavored alfajores. They had about 15-20 flavors. I got cherry. So instead of manjar (which is good, but not fantastic) in between the cookies, it had like a sweet cherry filling (think, like jelly doughnut, but with real cherries in it more like jelly). DELICIOUS. It was at a chocolate shop in the mall. I see more mall trips in the near future, seeing as I'll only be in Vina del Mar a total of 5 more days!
Wow! 5 more days?? Crazy... Tomorrow I'll be in Quintay for a picnic all day so that doesn't even really count... then I have Friday and Saturday, then I leave for my trip. Then I have Saturday and Sunday when I get back, and then I leave on Monday! This week is already flying by...
