Avoiding Immigration

So Callie and I met up in Hotlanta and boarded our delayed flight to Santiago. Where Callie was promptly asked if she flew so much because she was a super model or movie star, by the flight attendant. I said ´both´ in an effort to get us into first class. It didn´t work but Callie is obviously a valued customer. haha. Upon arrival to Santiago Callie´s bag was immediately sniffed out by the security dogs. Apparently cheese and biscuits are not to be brought into the country. (Thanks for the nice gesture, mom) Then you get into more trouble if you didn´t claim them on your form. We thought Callie might be hauled away, for questioning. They take their cheese very seriously here.

We arrived at the hostel seriously jet lagged, then had to wander the city for 3 hours before we could check in. We enjoyed watching the random dog gangs work their corners in heavy traffic. A few of them were definitely dead. When we finally checked into the hostel we took a 4 hour nap. Then we wandered the city again in search of food (sin map), and new years party hats. Success on both accounts! This computer won´t let us get into our email, so that´s why you haven´t heard from us...moms. We hope guys are enjoying Winter, we´ll write again soon.

  1. Ha! Ha! You should have offered the dog a biscuit, Cal! See, even a dog knows how good my biscuits are!! The two of you stay safe and out of trouble. Okay, so at least TRY to stay out of trouble. Love you both!
