I had the most disgusting deep-fried shrimp and cheese empanada I've ever tasted--it wasn't so disgusting as just incredibly heavy. I think I can still feel it lingering.
I almost got in trouble for feeding a dog--only because the pooch got a little aggressive and tried to take a snippet of bread right out of my friend's hand. Luckily...she didn't see me feeding the little (pretty big, actually) guy, so...I think I'm off the hook on that one.

I also went to one of Pablo Neruda's houses. It has an incredible view. ... Apart from that, I'd rather read some dead guy's poetry than walk through his house. It wouldn't have been so bad, except that it was a guided tour with two tour guides--one official and one self-appointed. But now I can say I've been.
I met a Brazilian girl at la Isla Negra. We talked for a few minutes--she in Portuguese and I in Spanish. And I was surprised to find that i could understand her Portuguese better than I understand Chilean Spanish. I'm going to Brazil. I'm going to live on the coast and speak Spanish and listen Portuguese and sell surfboards or something.
Next. I got to watch the sunset from the beach--which is, in my opinion, the ONLY place to be at sunset. No hay prisa para nada.
It was a nice excursion. And I'm going back.

I may have purchased a book of his poetry at goodwill some months ago for two dollars. Each poem may be paired with b&w photographs of La Isla Negra and the surrounding area. This poema may have made me think of you:
Si yo pudiera hablar con pajaros,
con ostras y con lagartijas,
con los zorros de Selva Oscura,
con los ejemplares pinguinos,
si me entendieran las ovejas,
los languidos PERROS LANUDOS,
los caballos de carretela,
si discutiera con los gatos,
si me escucharan las gallinas!
