Coro Infantil, the Vitacura Community Choir

December 7, 2022 by Katie Kelley Leave a Comment

Thursday night the kids had the opportunity to sing at the Vitacura Christmas tree lighting with their choir. They performed with Cecilia Echenique, a Chilean recording artist. My heart melted as they sang the Christmas carols they had learned in Spanish. You could tell by their faces they were proud and excited while they sang. […]

Add Cereal, Then Milk

November 29, 2022 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

Milk and cereal are a breakfast so common in American households that I doubt few recall the time when they learned about the recipe and procedure to make a bowl of cereal. In Chile, however, breakfast cereal is still catching on. Here are photos of the cereal box of a local cereal. Note the front […]

Adventures in Buying Katie’s Xmas Present

November 19, 2022 by Mark Kelley 1 Comment

I’m not great at getting gifts. I’m good at spurring my family to embark on epic and immersive experiences, and on occasion will bring home flowers or perform other generous tasks. But when it comes to holidays and anniversaries, I’m the worst offender of procrastination in gift-buying or not buying gifts at all. I decided […]

Department Stores at Christmas

November 18, 2022 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

Katie has previously written about mall culture being alive and well in Chile. We’re now living the Christmas mall miracle. The malls are the center of commercial activity in Santiago. The Christmas decorations are out, inventories are piled high, and people frantically rush through parking lots and stores. It’s such a nostalgic experience. It’s remarkable […]

Egg-xperiment Time

November 17, 2022 by Katie Kelley Leave a Comment

Since we’re heading to the Atacama desert and getting the opportunity to visit and swim in the salt lagoon, I wanted to do an experiment with the kids to show them how the strong salt content of the lagoons with make us extra buoyant. So we took two glasses of warm water, added 3 tablespoons […]

Let’s Get Festive

November 16, 2022 by Katie Kelley Leave a Comment

I adore the holiday season. Christmas carols in November, fresh cut Christmas trees, and driving to look at Christmas lights bring me such happiness. A fire in the fire place with just the glow from the Christmas lights is my ultimate happy place. Chile doesn’t do real trees, and I wasn’t going to buy a […]

Chicken Love You T-Shirt, Por Favor

November 15, 2022 by Mark Kelley 1 Comment

Katie would tell you I despise waiting in line. I don’t cut lines. I avoid them. When it comes to lines, I often decide I can live without whatever consumer-oriented gratification awaits at the end (e.g. the latest restaurant, a freebie, a game, a celebrity autograph, etc.). I can do without it. In this context, […]

Wonderland Santiago and Alice’s Teacup NY

November 14, 2022 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

While we were downtown in Santiago, we visited the popular Alice’s tea room, and cafe themed in line with the tale. It was a great experience, with delicious coffee, sandwiches, and treats. I felt I had been there before, as it bore a striking resemblance to Alice’s Teacup in NYC, a cafe with the same […]

Packing Meds from the US

November 13, 2022 by Katie Kelley Leave a Comment

Before we left for Chile, I searched many expat forums looking for suggestions on what to bring from abroad. The number one suggestion was any over the counter medication that we might take. So I purchased, Tylenol, Vicks vapor rub, Benadryl, NyQuil, and the kids equivalents and hoped we wouldn’t need them. They have some […]

Visiting Santa Lucia Hill, Santiago

November 12, 2022 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

We finally made the trip to the Santiago city center to explore Santa Lucia Hill and Plaza de Armas. It reminded us of the true size and density of Santiago, and we enjoyed exploring a part of the city that felt different and more vibrant than our corner of the city in Vitacura.
