So, Aimee and I met up with Dave and Julie and went to a Chilean Festival on Sunday in Bethesda. Yesterday (9/18) was Chilean Independence Day.
We had a great time and ate a lot of food, including Pastel De Choclo and Empanadas. Pastel De Choclo is a Chilean dish that is reaaaally goohhood. We actually brought some home and ate it last night for dinner. I told Aimee that if she learned how to make it that I would marry her. Har har har, whatever.
Later on, my parents and sister (Andrea) showed up with one of their dogs, Chico (named Chico, because his breed is Cuban). My mom, Andrea, and brother Jhan (pronounced John) are going back to Chile in December. This is my mom's second trip to Chile in a year. The first one was great and I hope they have as much fun as we did last year.

YUM! Pastel de Choclo is pretty much the best dish every made. Tell your parents to visit a restaurant called Caramano while they're here for the best typical Chilean food ever! Their signature dish is the pastel de choclo.
Shoot, you just made me so hungry!
